I do water changes...

[saltwaterfish.com]

And if so, what percentage do you usually like to change out?

 

[predator]

The sacound of every month I do a 10% water change. It's become routine.

 

[javajoe]

try to do a 5 gallon water change weekly- ends up being about every 2 weeks...

 

[tomato clown]

I also do about 4-5 gallons every other week

[diamond]

About 10%-15% every 2 weeks

 

[fishymissy]

between 10% to 20% per week.

 

[busster]

15% Every 2-3 weeks

 

[whipple]

Every week i do a water change of 15%

 

[whipple]

Sorry that didnt come out right i do one of the tanks every week that ends up being each tank every three weeks a change of each tank

 

[adrian]

I'd like to say I do about 20% every 4-6 weeks, but its rare that that happens, if ever, right now its going on 3 months and I havent even started mixing water yet Ill probably get around to it tomorrow. Sorry, Im just a real lazy reefer IMO you can go a little longer, maybe indefinitely, when you have a mature tank with a DSB, reactor, big skimmer, ect.

 

[dad]

about 10% a year, thats it.
Now no one start throwing rocks at me, ok?

 

[aczmey]

around 20-25% every month or month and a half

 

[nacl-h2o]

10% every 2-3 months

 

[fshhub]

sorry dad, i ran outta rocks, right after i saw your name, anyone who manages to break the year barrier with an anemone is doing something right, even if all others feel it is wrong, they are a true test IMO
n.e.how, we do @ 5 gal a week in our 75, with no skimmer and no filter(except bio's)

 

[ratbattey]

Carrying a habit over from 30 years of breeding fresh water fish, I do about a 5% change once a week So far, so good.

 

[texasreefrat]

Never, unless something is out of wack, I dont see the need.

 

[hillbilly]

About 15% monthly, religiously! First Monday of the month.

I change out about 15-20g in my reef and about 5 in my FO. I only have 27g actual water in it, no sump like the reef. Usually works out to be about a month or two in between changes.

 

[vkesu]

10% every 2-3 weeks.

It's been over a year since I actually did one,but I do add about one gallon per day to replace eveporation.I also dose weekl with coralvite to replace trace elements.I agree that with a good mature tank,large quality skimmer,DSB,live rock,and (in my case) a good algae refugium,water changes are not needed.Must be doing something right though,My nitrates rarly go over 15,and I have THREE anemones that have been in there for over a year.
