water changes
Tank fluid replacement
Water changes are the practice of removing and replacing a portion of aquarium water to maintain water quality.
Regular water changes dilute waste products, nitrates, and other harmful substances that accumulate in fish tanks: I do a 25% water change every week.
The frequency and volume depend on tank size, fish load, and filtration—a fundamental aspect of aquarium maintenance.
