I have a 300 litre low tech that filter get's cleaned monthly(2)eheim 2217's ,and low fish load.(working on increasing the number's)
I change 50% of the water each week, and add back a little nutrient's macro's/micro's.1/3 EI level's.
It could go longer between filter cleaning and water changes but old habit's are hard to break.
I also have a 200 litre low tech,heavily planted tank, which hold's three adult bristlenose and don't know how many babies,One adult Royal pleco,One Farlowella,cherry shrimp in the hundred's,eight panda cory's.
I change 50% of the water each week, or twice a week, and filter get's cleaned every two week's.Rena XP3 and Aquaclear 802 powerhead with quick filter attachment
The second tank get's more food and generates more waste but my maint provides the best water quality for both I feel,so it is the maint I stick with.
Plant's and fishes doing well enough.
