No we didn't, this specific algae treatment explains that no water changes are needed, that it is 100% safe for all inhabitants in the reef system. We do however change 5gal of water each week just for our regular weekly maintenance. I've heard of a few others yes that are more "chemical" than a biological type of treatment that do require significant water changes. I'll tell ya though, I was a skeptic of this stuff but it really worked great..I would recommend it.

Thanks everyone for your input
