Ugh. That was not the response I wanted. How about five gallons a day? 55 gallon system.

I'm worried about shocking the livestock.

How? Clean water?

Typical water isn't going to have levels much higher than you have now, and you can then fine tune.

If you did 5 gallon changes separately you'd be getting diminished returns over just doing 50%.

I have rheumatoid arthritis. Even working with 5 gallons of water is painful. I'll take the diminished returns over agony.
