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.

It TOTALLY would be if I didn't have this:



and this:



So when I said "I" do water changes, it's actually all automated. The barrel lasts me roughly 30 days. So once a month I make 100 gal of new salt water and that's it

Got mine from Barr plastics in Vancouver, but I bet being in Chestermere you could pick something up at a UFA or something...

It's a Stenner peristaltic pump, maybe you can ask for one for Christmas... If someone reeeeallly loves you, they're quite expensive....

Nice setup daplatapus!
