How often do you do water changes?

I do a 10 gallon change every 10-14 days on a 30g tank.

Ever since I switched my salt brand to one that I don't need to buffer before I put it in the tank, I found I do my water changes much more frequently.

Usually I do 5G a week on my 70.

I do mostly f/w top ups and my tanks are doing great, used to be regular weekly now I am maybe every 3-6 months///I still dose though...

I did that when I have no fish. I was fishless for about a year and my tank did nothing but thrive. I topped up the water daily and did water changes every 2 months, adding calcium every week or so. Ah the good old lazy days.
