As far as water changes go. Well I have my RO running 24/7. I have two brut trash containers. One for salt, and one for fresh. Every morning when I get off work I go around and top off all the tanks. ( no auto top off for me, I am hands on, and poor
)
After I top off the tanks, I pull out 5 gals, 10 gal, 2 gals depends on which tank it is. and put in fresh salt water. So I basically do a 5% water change every day to every three days. I think they stay more stable that way. No sudden change. And no chance for anything to get away from me this way.

I wish I could keep them both but I'm only keeping one. Water changes alone on one continuous 530 gallon system would be too much for me, and I definitely don't have the space for both of them unless I throw my little sister out of my house. So the guy that got me hooked on salt got the other tank. I think I made his day.
I'm thinking I finally met a reef tank that is going to break me.
