What’s your protocol ? Add 50% salt water and 50% RO/Di ? How much per day ?2% every day
I am using an automatic water change (AWC) system. It does it every day from my mixing station. I am actually about to install a new one using a Coralview Hydros XS and will do 6 gallons a day (1.5%) on a 400 gallon system. The one I have been using has gone faulty.What’s your protocol ? Add 50% salt water and 50% RO/Di ? How much per day ?
I have a 125 gallon and I usually do 20% every two weeks but have been thinking of cutting that back to 10% every two weeks.Dear Abby,
I was told that water changes have a positive effect on my aquarium but what percentage of water should I change to make it worth it?
Sincerely,

For my 40 gallon I do a five gallon water change when I do mine sometimes maybe ten gallon depends on how my Parameters areNot only are you removing waste but are replacing other elements with new salt mix water.
Personally I do 10% per week.
Each tank is different as to how much a change will be needed. Every bit helps
HI I'm new here and only been reefing for about 1.5 years. I do 20 % water changes every other week. I'm really hoping after 2 years when reef mature maybe it will not be necessary?Dear Abby,

My last tank was a 100g that was 5 years old. I did 25% every few months and the tank was awesome but got to crowded to I upgraded now I couldn't imagine going less than monthly if I didn't have my AWC running. I ran mostly LPS before now I'm into more SPS so they are not as forgivingHI I'm new here and only been reefing for about 1.5 years. I do 20 % water changes every other week.
