How often do you test your water?

by _fins_

After the tank is fully cycled do you still test on a frequent/semi-frequent basis? Do you tend to test more if you have a slightly overstocked tank, and test less if the tank is understocked? Not sure if that makes sense really...hopefully you get what I mean.

TBH I don't test all that frequently or consistently. Sometimes I might test every couple of weeks, sometimes I might test once a month. Obviously if there's elevated ammonia etc I'll test more often to make sure I've gotten the water parameters back where they're supposed to be. And I'll test if I suspect there's an issue or if I have a sick fish etc.

Personally speaking, once a week if the tank has been recently set up, and thereafter once every 3-4 weeks just to make sure all is right.
