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:

https://krakencorals.co.uk/red-sea-reefer-peninsula-g2-350-complete-system.html
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

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)
 
Welcome to R2R! I don't think you will ever get a consensus on water changes but I think that 10%/week is the most often recommended.
