I'm with Mr. Salty, I rarely need to. I have been blessed with good well water, high phosphates but still takes care of SW and FW fish w/out losing any.

[bryan01601]

Once a month I do about 20%. Not sure I need to though all my readings seem fine. I may just be wasting money on salt, But Better to waste money on salt than fish

 

[fantomkoala]

I'm with Mr. Salty on this one. My LR, Refugiu, and Skimmer keep me from having to change the water. I add the elements back in and its been about 4 months now, only changed the water once. Everything looks fine.

Still doing 10 - 20% each week due to nitrate accumulation (UGF!!!) Want to get to Mr. Salty's frequency and I know that with time we will get there.

 

[fixitdude2001]

Every 4-6 weeks, and do about 15 gallons, but do not get any change on readings, going to start to let it go longer as I add one new gallon of topoff water[Kalwasser] every other day, for this is about 1/2 gallon a day, now that we added the MH lights. topoff water has almost doubled since adding MH..cya

 

[misty927]

I'm tired of these polls...no offense Jess. And that's all I have to say about that. lol.

 

[cchung718]

I do about every two weeks. 15-20%. Sometimes more often.

 

[krustytheclownfish]

About 15% every other week.

 

[kappadoku]

small tank micro reefs- 10-15% weekly
90 gallon- 20-25% monthly

 

[jacques]

Once a month, but my nitrates have recently skyrocketed, so I'm going to once a week until I get it under control.

 

[krazzydart]

Every 3 - 5 weeks, topping off weekly!

 

[dgs174]

i remove 25% once every 2 weeks, top off weekly.

 

[clowntrigga]

I havent done one in 5 months and my readings are perfect,but i have superior filtration!

 

[thespook]

Last water change i did was when I moved 1 1/2 month ago. Dont do them unless i need to i.e. something starts to move up. Add about 1 gallon every 2 days.

 

[damsel in distress]

every two weeks I do a water change of 20%.

 

[seabreeze]

Whenever it calls for it, which has been about once a week now, my lfs is pretty limited on stock, so im waiting on protein skimmer that i ordered, hopefully i wont have to do it as often when that comes in!!
