Frequent Water Changes. Bad?

[slickwill613]

I am doing small daily water changes, in addition to many other things, to deal with a GHA out break. But since I've started doing this I've gotten rid of roughly 95% of the algae. So I'd say more, smaller water changes are a good thing.

@ Eagle...Except for the fact that ATO replenishes fresh water evaporation...or am I miss-understanding your post?

Yes you are correct ato is for fresh.

But instead of 2 tanks it’s 3. The dt, mix sw and the ato for the sw mix. The only thing to evaporate would be the sw mix as it would constantly be filling the dt slowly. You would have to figure out how to get the overflow out of the dt system.

I think you are fine, maybe perfect for your tank & livestock.

however, a heavily stocked tank I would suggest once a week at a 30% rate or so.
