For over 10yrs with my old reeftank I did once monthly 25% changes.
Now with my new reef it's 25% twice monthly. The difference in coloration and coral growth over 8 months is definitely better as I'm sure the fish are healthier and happier too, though they haven't mentioned anything

On a roughly 1200glns system with a light load still I do 12% 150glns monthly water changes.
Its a simple turn valve to drain water and a switch to a pump to fill the system. The more I load my tank eventually the more I will water change.

10 gallons every week on a 140-150 ish system
im starting to think i should do it every two weeks... due to unnecessary stress from going all out and diving into my tank *giggle* or every second water change do the totally scrub everything , blow everything off , clean all the equipment. clean freaks shouldn't own saltwater tanks im starting to think. *i sometimes give my snails hair cuts* i had one with a mohawk and one with pony tails kinda .. when i had algae back in the day
