hi i do a 50% change daily with gravel suction if i see there is a issue in tank i do around a 90% change
i swill the filter sponges in the water i have taken out of the tank
i add tapsafe to water and fill back

Be sure to refill slowly and the new water is as close to the same temp as the tank water as possible.

Dont worry to much, you can over think it some times, when i do a 180L water chnage in my big tank i make sure the temps drops 3-4c it can some times induce breeding but also mimics the rain when found in the wild
