Water change

[don.ald]

Cleaned my sump last week, and was surprised how large those brittle stars get.

Did my 4th water change this week, there's a lot of mysis shrimp in my system

It always amazes me what crud gets blown out of my returns every time I shut them down and restart them for a water change. That does remind me, I should do one of those this weekend..

I'm actually considering REDUCING my w/c's to once a month. Doing 25% every two weeks currently.

Right now I'm doing once a month. Not exactly deliberately. I'm just lazy. And busy. Two terrible combinations for reefing actually. That's why I run a prayer reactor.

I freely admit I'm lazy that s why so long between water changes its usually when I feel like doing it

I do 50% every two weeks. Except when I don't. But mostly do. Doing one today, just for fun.

I was doing every 2 weeks and have changed to once a monthish mainly because I'm lazy and my tank seems to be surviving and doing fine.

I'm usually in the 19 to 25 day range. Target is 21 days, not sure why, just a number that seems about right. Generally I'll wait to do the change until the day my top off container is empty, causing the swing away from my 21 target, usually later.

I'm trying 3 gal per day and a 20% every 6 months... I have no idea if it's any better or worse
