Ammonia and other nitrogenous wastes are recognized as the number one killer of aquatic life in captive conditions. And along with temperature and photoperiod, metabolite build-up (biological waste) is one of the three most important factors influencing the health, growth and reproduction of your fish.

In light of this information, changing your tank?s water is probably the single most important thing you can do for your fish (apart from feeding).

There are several major benefits of frequent partial-water changes, not the least of which is the removal of nitrates, excess waste and particulate matter; the reduction in microbial populations and their metabolites; and the prevention of the build-up of toxins.

Various aquarists suggest changing anywhere between 10% and 50% of the water every week. Naturally, this would be a daunting task for a saltwater tank so aim for 15% new water on a weekly basis. By the same token, too much of a water change can be a shock to the fish.

If it's been a while since the last water change, several smaller water changes over a few days is a good way to acclimate your fish to a healthier water quality.

Regardless of how well a system is designed and constructed, there will always be maintenance. Frequent partial water changes are one of the best ways of ensuring continuing success.
