If you're going to give this a shot I would recomend daily changes rather than every few days. It would be easy to automate as all you need a pump on a timer that pumps water to a drain (be careful to avoid a siphon) and an auto top off system which allows you to top off with salt water with a lower salinity that maintains constant salinity in the display. A very simple system requiring very little time to maintain.
I agree with Tony about the bacteria, this is actually part of a myth similar to how UV sterilizers can harm your bacteria population. The fact is all you need is already attached within rock and substrate.
