March 17, 2006, Newsletter Issue #47: Water Changes
Tip of the Week
Perform regular partial water changes. Changing 25% of your tank´s water every other week serves two purposes: it dilutes and removes nitrate before it accumulates to dangerous levels, and it replaces trace elements and buffers that get used up by bacteria, plants, etc. Water changes are the most important step in controlling disease, and large water changes are not safe unless the chemical composition (e.g., pH and GH) of your tank´s water is similar to the water you are adding.
