Hey,

I'm currently planning out my main tank and I've been looking at water changes. My product water tank should hold approx 50 gallons and my tank holds 164 gallons.

I plan to begin filling the product tank straight after the previous water change so it can get to temp, aerate etc. I'd like to change 50 gallons (approx) three times a week. Does this sound ok? Or is it too much, or to little? The tank will be planted and well filtered.

Hopefully I'll be able to set up a system to allow one of the externals to remove the water and then a pump to get the new water in. Should be plain sailing...lol

Cheers :D

Ideal. :D

I wanted to make sure that it would be sufficient for the Discus before I made anymore plans. I would have done it with a siphon and bucket if need be but I've come up with a water changing system that should do it for me (kind of) while I deal with the tank, cleaning etc.

Thanks mate :wink:
