Hi, I've got a 3 week course for work coming up and I'll only be home at
the weekends.so that means I can only do water changes etc when I'm
home,weekends. Will this stuff up my tanks?
as I do a water change every day, and don't trust anyone to do it for me.

so long as feeding is well reduced too, there shouldn't be any problems.
Bare in mind, most people that have a fish tank only do 1 water change every week or 2 anyway

Hi,

Agree with Scatz, it depends on your water change regime, but I do mine once a week anyway, so reduce feeding and continue as per normal. If ou do more than one water change a week, you might need to now change more volume. cheers jk :thumbup:

i would think 50% once a week is good enough if you reduce the feeding. If you are home on the weekends, you could do sat morning 50% and then SUN afternoon another 20%. I think that should be fine. maybe just a thought. cheers jk
