Water Changes
Topic: Basic
I made the mistake of pulling out 1/4 of the water every week with a modified milk jug and dumped it into a bucket. also I am aware of people who fill it up as it evaporates. This is unacceptable, and I wish someone would have told me. Use a siphon, they vacuum the gravel and pull out all the bacteria and nasties you don't want in the tank. This will make a huge difference and help avoid old tank syndrome.
