Parameter and water change question

Richmond · Oct 23, 2016

Good morning! My parameters are all looking really good, but today is my scheduled water change. Should I do it?

Parameters:
Phosphate: 0.00
Nitrate: 0.00
Nitrite: 0.00
pH: 8.2
Mg: 1400
Ca: 470
dkh: 9.5

Any input is appreciated.

If for nothing else, id go ahead and do one. Itll replace trace elements and keep ya from getting in the "well I didn't do one last time and things look good soooooo....." Mood. Lol. I have a very lax water change routine and things are going well. Every tank is different tho.

Yes, I'd do water changes regardless of how those parameters looked. They are not the main reason to do them, but rather for all the things you do not measure.
