water changes

[dartman]

I have been chaging 10 gallons a week for a 90 gallon aquairum. I have like 10 corals a cleaning crew and 4 fish. Does this sound like too much water I change or do you think I can cut back to 5 gallons a week?

Nope, i wouldnt cut back a bit... about 10% water change every week is "normal". Just curious... what kind of fish? :joy:

2 clowns and 2 damsels. I'm thinking of getting more clowns though

I do a 20% every week. I would not cut back.

No pics yet sorry by my clown fish are a maroon and a pecular. corals are bubble hammer xiena 2 frogspawns ricordea and lace gorgonian. Not sure on all that spelling. I'm unhappy with the color of all my coral they are all brown except one of the frogspawns. I think I'll have to start getting the more expensive corals with more color.
