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

90 (~ 25%) Gal every week on my salty. 25 (25%) Gal on my fresh. The odd time it goes bi weekly due to my schedule but not often. Running carbon sure helps as well...
