Diluting Your Mistakes: How often are you changing out your water?

[debees5]

25 gallons on my 115 every other week. I dose daily as well.

15G three times a week on my 475G system by my auto water change system. It used to be daily till I hooked up a calcium reactor and added more volume

I do one change (15%) a month. Tank seems to be very happy with that.

No WC here if not needed. Last time I need to do a WC was January 2018. 2 years and 2 months ago.

Lasse, don’t the chlorides build up or go out of balance if not dosing sulfate with magnesium? When dosing calcium something has to be left behind unless it’s Kalwasser?

 

[Lasse]

Triton do not report chlorides but Core7 should be balanced just in order to not let this happen. I believe it is that way because my S is normally a little elevated

I do 20% every week on all my freshwater and saltwater tanks. I filter my own water and make my saltwater fresh every morning of water change day. Even my freshwater tanks get filtered water they seem to do much better.

1 gallon auto water change a day keeps the doctor away

My regiment was 10G/week out of my 75G. I decided to try something different and do 2 water changes a week by splitting the 10...5 gallons On Wednesday, 5 gallons on Saturday. I figure, always keeps the parameters stable and the elements fresh.
