frequent water chages...

I have a 55 gallon tank. If i wanted to do a weekly water change, how much
(%age, gallons) of it should be changed?

thanks

Well, it all depends on how many fish you have stocked in the tank. If you have the max number it's around 25%, otherwise it's good enough at 20%.

I change about 10-15 gallons weekly in my 55. Clean water is always appreciated

Same here I tend to lean on the stocked to the max ) so I always go 25% in my 55gal. every week.

I change around 15% twice a week if I can. If not I do 25% once a week. Fish seem to love the new water, and sometimes induces spawning behaviour in some types.....
