I have just done my water change - the first for 2 weeks for one reason or another, although the water was still great when I tested it.

Whats the longest that you have ever left your tank without a water change?

Hiya Ant, I still am paranoid about my water changes so do it every week even if the water is spot on. I dont know if I ever will get to the point when I leave it for longer.

I have read on other forums that some people leave it for about a month affraid

I have left it for a couple of weeks when I wasnt well, but I stressed about it so much it was awful. I kept looking at the fish waiting for them all to die! Very Happy

I do the water change every weekend, give a good gravel clean etc. I dont think my heart could take the stress of leaving it any longer!

I do mine about every 10 - 14 days but never longer than that. I have read on other places that people leave theirs for a lot longer but I wouldnt go for any longer than that.

I do keep a close eye on the water though and the fish all seem happy with it.
