water change frequency

[eliramos]

Hey everyone just looking for some input

i did a small waterchange with two tom aqualifters yesterday just to see how i felt about it.
It was amazingly simple so my question is would a 1 gallon waterchange every night be just as good if not better as a 5 gallon water change once a week?

i have a 29 gallon sps/lps reef tank

I don't do water changes but fwiw the parameters before a water change will be the same if you dose 1 gal per day or 7 gals per week.

What will vary is the parameters after the water change. With smaller more frequent water changes the values after the water change will be closer to the values before the water change.

I have a 29 gallon biocube. I do a 5 gallon water change every Sunday evening. I chose once a week as that is also the day I feed my corals ( in the morning). It has kept my water parameters very stable even after a phyto feeding.

General consensus seems to be once a week on a tank that size.I would go with that!
