You can see our 1000g RO holding tank and some 200g and 50g mixing containers. That photo was taken the other day. That's me reppin SA!

Loving the expression on your face, bro! Keep up the good work at Alpha!

I'm loving the responses...And it's really good to see that we have a seriously conscientious group of reefers here! Everyone seems to have a very good routine...and the nice part is that it's a "routine"...Consistency is so important!

Thanks for taking the time to share...we can all learn from this!

I'm having a wee bit of a phosphate issue right now so I'm changing 20%...twice a week! Temporarily, I hope as I'm talking a 650g system here. The usual is half of that.

I do about 25% every two weeks on both my 240 and 50 gallon tanks.

I've been doing a water change every two weeks on whatever tanks I have for 2 decades.

You would hate my buddy Dave (250g)......he was RCTOTM in may 2007 Tank of the Month - May 2007 - Reefkeeping.com

He rarely, RARELY did water changes and had an amazing reef. I dont know what his trick was but a part of it must have been his very skinny fish. I tried replicating it but no way....Im a water change guy myself and would never do with out. Im still baffled by Daves success this way though.

I dont do water changes at all. I do top off about 1 1/4 gallons a week. :)
