Good morning all!
Last night I performed my very first water change using RODI instead of tap with conditioner. So far everything is looking wonderful but my question is...
How many water changes will it take to see a difference? *Im looking for a change in algae buildup. Theres SO MUCH, I was cleaning the glass every other day.
I have a 25 gallon AIO, usually change 5 gal a week.
Secondary question. Is 4-5 gal every 2-3 days a bad way of doing maintenance? I dont want to overdo it but I dont want to dose anything (want to get all nutrients from WC). See below for specs.
25 gal AIO with skimmer.
Have palys, zoas, hammer, torch, some orange flat thing (still need ID on that one), and I just added my first SPS to the tank last night. I believe it is a purple/blue stylophora.
Have 2 baby snow clowns and 1 small orchid dottyback, some crabs/snails.
Use red sea coral pro salt
Thanks in advance for the help!!
