Comment on AQUARIUM MAINTENANCE

Very good point. I stated that once a month water changes are ideal. I really should have said at a minimum. If an aquarium owner can get into the habit of doing small weekly water changes, so much the better. With many people overstocking their aquariums or keeping more voracious species, the more water changes the better. As long as your doing small portions of water changes and not disturbing the biological filtration.

Thanks for the input.

I agree that aquariums can be cleaned too much and you don't need to change 100% of the water, but I don't agree that once a month should be the norm. If you keep hardly any fish in a large freshwater aquarium this may be the case. In many marine aquariums weekly or twice a month is more the norm. It's dangerous to make broad sweeping statements with aquariums. Each one is unique in countless ways.
