Automated 2 part dosing and water changes

[ampemployee1]

What frequency/% are people who have automated their dosing doing water changes? I currently do weekly 5% water changes on a 60 gallon total water volume system, and was thinking that I would adjust to an every 2 week schedule since the Ca/Alk/Mg parameters would be more stable. Thoughts?

Iv noticed that most people do better with 10% water changes every week or 20% every two weeks.

Thanks. I've noticed significant growth just in the last week since I automated dosing with BRS 1.1ml/min dosers for 2part using Randy's recipe. I'm going to stick with weekly 5% water changes. Been able to maintain stable alk at 8.4 and Ca at 430, Mg 1400 for the last week.

Thanks to my friend Valer for the mag flakes. Almost impossible to find a source in norcal.
