I do weekly water changes on my office tank. My Brute container holds 35 gallons of water. Its something like a 44 gallon container, but 35 gallons is just about right where it won't get too close to the edge.
Normally I will do a 10 gallon water change week one, another 10 gallon water change on week two, then a 15 gallon water change on the third week since there is 15 gallons of water left in the container by the point.
My total system is around 110 gallons with the sump included.
My question is, do you see any issue if I were to do 3 weeks of 10 gallon water changes then a 5 gallon water change on week 4? I ask, because it would be easier, and have the salt bucket last a little longer by only mixing water once a month.
Instead of changing 35 gallons over 3 weeks, I'd be changing 35 gallons over 4 weeks.
