Looking into Salt water

Wuvarien · Mar 10, 2025

Hi Everyone,

After years of keeping Discus I'm looking at getting a salt water aquarium.

I'm looking at getting an all in one system that has everything I need in one go, I was looking at:

My main question is, I'm use to doing massive water changes with my discus, what's the general rule with water changes on a Marine Tank? The tank won't be over stocked but I would like corals etc

Welcome to Reef2Reef

Ill say 10-15% of the tank volume weekly would make a good routine

Welcome, glad you are here! 10% weekly or 20% biweekly will do.

10% weekly sounds like a dream! I'm use to doing 150% hah!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Do it do it do it! As said above, most people if things are going well do 10-20% changes every 1-2 weeks. You will see people that do not do them at all but I think that is a minority (not saying it is right or wrong though)
