how often after i add a new fish should i do a water change????????????

 

[XxKnuckleheadxX]

how many fish do you have?do you have a sump? or skimmer?

after your aquarium cycles, it's one every two weeks unless they are a mated pair. thats the safest to go by. i think it's once a month for water change but it really goes by preference. water should also be changed when there's something wrong with the parameters. i do 20 percent change almost every week. Hope this helps.

i have three no sumo getting a skimmer my tankis three months old

 

[XxKnuckleheadxX]

being only three months you should havent any fish, 1 at the most right now. do you have live rock? what are your water perameters? this is just my opinion on what you have.

 

[kennedy98]

tank establshed 7 good size chunks of live rock live sand p.h 8.2 salinity .25 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate bout 20 temp 80.2

10-20% once a week or as conditions warrant.

I would do at least every other week PWC`s whether you add any fish or not. I do weekly PWC`s.

about .25

I hope you mean 1.025 as the suggested range for a reef aquarium is between 1.023 and 1.026. Or between 1.020 and 1.024 for a fish only aquarium

I would not add any more fish for at least a month. That is too many fish too quickly. Watch your water parameters for at least a month or two before adding any more fish.

I do a water change every week.
