Frequently asked questions
- How often should I change aquarium water?
- Enter tank volume, stocking, and how much percent you change per session. The calculator suggests interval and volume to hit a steady maintenance rhythm.
- Is a bigger water change always better?
- Large sudden changes can shock fish if parameters swing fast. Regular moderate changes often beat rare huge ones. Match temperature and treat tap water before adding.
- Do planted tanks need the same schedule?
- Plants consume nutrients and may allow slightly different timing, but testing nitrate still guides you. Adjust inputs if your tests stay low with fewer changes.
- When is cloudy water or sick fish a pro issue?
- Persistent ammonia, disease outbreaks, or crash after changes need testing and expert advice. This tool schedules maintenance; it does not diagnose sick fish.
