When we had our 180 gal reef, I still did weekly water changes of 25 gals. Plus the skimmer was cleaned weekly and the foam in the Hagen 802 prefilters were cleaned.

Weekly, weekly, weekly - no matter how big or small a tank is. All tanks benefit from the new water's trace elements that the corals, macroalgae, etc. remove over the course of a week. The bigger the tank, the more corals, fish, inverts it has and all remove trace elements from the water.
