Hi I’ve been told change 25% of water every 2 weeks figured why not look into automatic water changes.
Some change water frequently.
It’s OK to do that.
But it gets expensive and Iam not convinced in the worth.
I found it easier and cheaper just to replenish the evaporation,
the 3 majors, and the trace……and keep the water.
A few times a year, I change 10%, not sure why,but it feels good.
I just dose everything being consumed.

Welcome to R2R!! I too am back after a 17 year break from the hobby. The basics still apply, but there's a lot of new technology. You'll find a lot of helpful info here.

You will find great information here. Times have changed a lot read and ask questions before you buy equipment. I started in then70s got out in the 2000s then I made a mistake I went scuba diving in Thailand, lol
