I have only really done maybe 4 WC on the big tank in 2 years mind you I don't have any SPS in there either.

I change 20 gallons every week in my 125 mixed reef, sounds like I am going over board compaired to everyone else.

You would probably be better off doing 40g every other week. You'll dilute nutrients more with larger changes. But no, not overboard, you're taking proper care of your tank. Good for you!

Then dump it in your driveway, or your gravel pit, or run a hose to the road.
