bhath19 Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Oct-2004 | How often and how much of the water do you recommend I change during cycling. I have a 5 gallon tank w/ 4 fish. And a Hang On Back filter. |

You're going to have to keep on top of the water testing. Test the water twice daily and change it if needed, I usually changed 50%. I don't know the numbers offhand but a good test kit will have the levels. Good luck, Mike ps.
