The Truth about water changes and why you need them

In this video we explore the nature of water changes in the aquarium and why every aquarium, planted or not will require a water change at some point for various reasons. There is a lot of information being circulated that there is this way or that way but the reality is there are many ways and it really all comes down to what works for you as a fish keeper and what sort of tank you have to determine when and how much but what still remains is that every fish keeper in the hobby will do water changes, some more than others.
