I'd like to say I change 15-20 gallons in my 120 every other weekend, as this is what I aim for. But in reality I do this every 3 weeks or once a month.
 
Using only RO water
285g total volume system
55g every 6 months
 
135g mixed reef

35g Ro/Di every two weeks
 
In a perfect world (( there are weeks were my back acts up, and things go on hold. ))....

40 breeder, weekly 5 gallons
65, weekly 5 gallons
75, weekly 5 gallons.

I use old 5 gallon salt buckets for each water change, it is pretty easy to manage that way.
 
I do 15% once a month on my 100.
