The Water Change Club

[reefkprz]

I myself use a calander, for tracking verious things. once I established a code for things with a key for others (like anyone else is interested in my dkh) the space on a days cube is enough for all I need to track. including my Wc's.
last change on my 75g was 20g, done 1/12/10. I am holding off on more untill i get my 125 up and running as it is going to come close to using all tthe salt I have left.

I do the same thing. My wife makes these nice calendars on shutterfly with our pictures on them and everything and I just scribble random things on them like water change, change lights, test dKH...kind of funny...
Anyway, to answer your question Cranberry. I try to change about 25 gallons of my 65 every 3-4 weeks. I like to do more less often.

This is the way they say to do it if you want to bring some numbers down better.... like nitrates.

I will not do a water change this weekend and I haven't done one in over two years. Yes my tank is still empty.

The reason? Boss says FINISH THE BASEMENT! I want to join so bad!

 

[fretfreak13]

lol my reef doesn't get changed too much since I don't have a job to buy salt, but I've been slowly lowering my QT into hypo to treat some ICH, so tecinically I did a two gallon waterchange on that today. xD
10 gallon QT - 1-30-10

 

[adams]

I have 58 Gallon Nano Reef, how often you recomend I should change the water for that, and how much?

 

[firefightremtp]

I try to every 7-10 days, I did 5g on a 50g yesterday, 1/29/10

 

[ricericebaby]
