So I get one day off from work a week and I normally start my day off early in my office where my tank is located. Just wanted to see who is all doing water changes and how you do it. I only do 5 gallons a week for my 29 biocube. Is it possible to get away with less water changes. Like once every to weeks or once a month. I dont mind doing them I actually enjoy getting hands on. My tank is still with out a refugium or a skimmer right now hoping to get both of them soon. Would they help with less water changes.

You can try it. You will just have to watch your nutrients.
I do 5 gallons every 1-2 weeks in my 29 gallon biocube. I also have a skimmer that I run every other day overnight, I don't seem to have any issues. Looks like your tank is relatively new, do you have any corals, or just LR and sand right now?

From my understanding, if you don't have a skimmer you should probably stick to once a week water changes.
I got rid of my skimmer (not worth the hassle & extra noise in my opinion) and do 2.5 gallon water changes a week in my 13.5 gallon tank.
