now with zeo the past 5months, i have been doing 5% wc every two weeks.

i was hesiante at first to stop the weekly water change, but after 2 weeks i noticed a difference all around the tank, by holding off the wc.
Sorry...I am confused....good changes by doing every two weeks or bad changes?

For me, weekly is easier than bi-monthly. Just because I would rather do smaller changes than one big one. Actually thats why I do them two times a week instead of once.

But my fiance was asking and I didn't really know why...just said I was told to do them. Then she asked if ZEO makes salt and recommends strongly that you use their salt to do weekly water changes...hmmmm, never really thought of that before.
