I just think that with water evaporation, like I have I add 3-5 gallons of water every week. I just don't think changing your water that often is a must, and why? stress out your fish and corals with that many water changes, as long as your water parimaters are in check, why? fix something that is not broken. e_baer, please know that this is no disrepect to you or anyone else that does regular water changes like that, just curious really as to why? so many water changes.

wow 3-4 huh? thats a long time but i guess if it works then its fine. I try to change my water every 4 weeks or so since that is what my dad taught me when I first started but I usually get around to it every 4-6 weeks since the aquarium is at my parents house.
