Fish Junkie Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I bought a water flow meter a while back thought I'd give it a go as I did waterchanges 2687.5 Ltrs later and that's the main tanks in the shed now just the baby tanks and ones inside left to do this is purely WC no gravel clean or sump clean whats yours ?

Matmatmat Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Mines about 500 lt twice a week. Maybe a bit less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Junkie Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 It's funny cause you half fill a 600 L tank and think that's 300 L WC only when you measure for sure it's more like 250 L we forget the gravel fish rocks plus tanks are never filled right to the top FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho74 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 250 litres per week in the big tank, this tank is 4 ft deep so i've created my own extended gravel vac tube via bunnings and hooked it up to hosing to drain into the garden. Then i have three nano tanks to do. Filling them back up again with buckets of water left overnight. Last weekend i raised the water too high covering the filter spout which reduced the bubble flow.. lost numerous fish overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackayman Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I record all my water changes in a diary, just went through it, put 17,100 lts through my 500 lt display last year I just done the sums, thats 328.8461538461538 Lts per week ... or 46.84931506849315 Lts per day Thats ok, roughly 10% per day Plus whatever I put in the Q/tine tank ( I don't record that ) Brendan Edited January 15, 2013 by Mackayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
