how often do YOU do water changes?

[snowmansnow]

how often do you do them?

how large is your tank?

how many gallons do you change at a time?

Thanks

Cannot participate in this thread due to concerns of incriminating myself!

But....am curious if anyone is as slack as I am.....so I will be quietly following along.

I have a 29g and change 3g every 2-3 weeks.

I have a net 280-300 gallon system (2 tanks, sump, separate refugium). I try to do 25 gallons every week to 10 days.

Other system is probably net 60 gallons (tank, sump, fuge in sump). I do 5 gallons every week.

55g tank, about 60g total water.

5g W/C every Saturday religiously. I missed 1 W/C all last year due to a funeral. I'm kinda OCD about my water changes.:yes:

Up until about three months ago, I went over a year without a water change. Unfortunately, the Xenia loved it and took over.

Now that I'm actually taking care of my tank (a 20L), I do 2 gallons every weekend, and I try to fit in another gallon during the week. I'd rather not dose anything if I can help it.

28 Gallons
3-4 a week or 5-6 every two weeks, depending on schedule.
