water test

[Tener ds]

hi,just done my first water test in 6 weeks,is this bad?
the edge gets 10% a day and the 75L 10% every 2 to 3 days.
any way the results are the same as they where 6 weeks ago :woohoo:

Your water change routine will keep you on the right track as to good water quality...Just remember not to get too complacent with testing, as things have a habit of going wrong when you least expect it to...Keep testing once a month to make sure that the changes you are doing are still enough, as the fish grow you feed more= more water changes.

ive just worked out that im doin a 20% water change every day on the edge.
its only a 23L tank and im changing around 4 to 5 liters a day,is this to much?

No, That's fine...You will keep the water in great condition with that routine :thumbup:

I've just realised I'm having an "agree with D-MAC" day, so like Derek says small tanks are inherently much more difficult to look after than big ones because changes in water quality temperature etc can happen much more quickly, and changing a reasonable amount of water every day is a good way of keeping them stable.
