![]() Like I said before, I am not arguing the merits of frequent vs infrequent water changes (although I do question small daily changes). My point is about the math, which even RHF above acknowledges. It's good to quote articles, but it is also important to understand what they are saying, too ![]()

![]() not sure whats so hard to understand......seems the rest of the experienced reef world gets it so not sure what you question about smaller water changes lol are you saying that small water changes arn't adequate enough of a practice? why would you think a larger water change that not only removes but changes the system overall the more the larger it gets is any better than a small one? |

As I stated before, even 16% all at once every 3 weeks is not enough vol.

right now like you my water changes are in bulk cause the hobby over the years beat into my head that it has to be better , but now i look at it from a whats important point of view ...i dont suffer from excess nutrients, i dont use water changes to replenish calcium/alk or mg and i dont use water changes to syphon out ditrius i believe a system can be simple and automation is pretty practical alot of the numbers that weren't know years ago are better detailed today as actual data so i believe a more stable approach to things and assurances it works is easier than its ever been and overall its the health and impacts on the animals i keep i care most about ![]() i will be looking in the future to doing smaller changes continuously vs weekly , right now the way im set up is more convenient to do bulk but that doesnt mean my system wouldnt do well with smaller one either. |
