i would do either 5g's weekly, or 10g bi-weekly minimum.

water changes are the best thing you can do to keep you water quality up in a nano. and IME, small changes more often is best way to go.

I give it a stir, get rid of any detrius I see. I would do weekly water changes. There is a saying from Anthony Calfo.. Dilution is the solution to polution.
