how much water do you change

[MimicOcto8]

How much water do you change out when doing a water change? Also do you take time to warm the water up to the tanks temp and do you mix your water in a day in advance?

I usually do between 15 and 25 percent once or twice a month, and usually mix it a day ahead of time.

 

[repoman95]

15 percent on a 60 cube every week. Sometimes I do get lazy and its two weeks between changes. If it is I will change out an extra 5 gallons or so.

So are ya running a cal rx? And I'm guessing your dosing carbon, among a few other things;)

I have a 55 gal barrel of saltwater I keep mixed up. Before I do a water change I toss a pump in & aerate it overnight then fill my water jugs & put a heater in the 5 gal jug & heat it. I do a 5 gal change once a week on my 29 gal Bio Cube & 10 gals every 2 or 3 weeks on my 45 gal.

+1 set up my temp system end of June....still no wc.

 

[BlazinNano]

10 gallons on a 46 gallon bowfront once a month.

 

[Electrobes]

5G ( 12% ) per week on my 40Br. My tank is softy dominated, no skimmer, and I use a lot of carbon, and some gfo. So far so good :)

Lets see I have A 120 with 40 gallon sump and do about 20 gallons A month. maybe 6 weeks sometimes pending on how the corals are looking and how much the skimmer is putting out.

10% weekly temp matched to the tank and mixed for about a week

Saturday is typically water change day

1. Change water
2. Refill barrel
3. Add salt
4. Let mix and Heat until the next Saturday

 

[Kris]

10-20% every 3-4 weeks with the temp close.
