Regardless of the filtration you use on your tank, you should perform regular weekly maintenance which includes changing at least 50% of the water.
Not cleaning out the debris or waste from your tank is harmful to your fish and will either cause illness or death.

∙ 14y agoProvided you keep to the basic rules below, a tank should only need to be serviced regularly, and maybe stripped down and cleaned out every five years or so. The rules are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water but more is better. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.Follow the rules and you stand a chance of keeping fish successfully. Miss out on any of them, and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.
