Try and do 10% water changes weekly or 20% every second week.
I dose bacteria every 3 days, bit of a overkill but works for me.
You should also add bacteria when doing a WC.
 
I was thining of doing the 10% weekly my wife works on Saturday's so got the time.

Jip, I also do water changes on Saturdays or Sundays. Water testing on Saturdays also work for me :) Still need to pop in at your place, but things are going crazy with me writing a freaking exam this Friday!

By bacteria you mean like stability?

hey JDV - looking good thus far. I used Stability for a while until I completed the course. I am now using special blend...its stinks like crazy but works like magic...

Is that basically the same thing as stability but better?
 
LCornelius said:
Yes, I am a big fan of Microbelift Special Blend!
Recently I switched to Aquaria bacteria and still working wonders in my tank.

I think that dosing bacteria is very important.

Hi Guys

Got some sad news, Gielie has passed on over the weekend was not a good weekend. I did water change on Friday afternoon, on Saturday morning he was just missing.
My wife and I looked everywhere for him. On Sunday morning I decided to get in behind the tank “ tank is about 500mm from the wall” to check under the rocks, and there he was stuck under a rock seems
he did not like the water change and got himself stuck under a big rock. I had to remove about 10kg of rock to get him out. The worst of all is the rock he got stuck under was not a loose rock it was a big +- 4kg rock right at the bottom. Anyway felt a bit depressed yesterday about the loss, amazing how quickly you get attached to them. So now Nemo is all alone again.
