Water Change?

[Break122704]

Does 1gl a week sound good for a 10 gl ?

As a general rule, 10% change per week is fine. However, if you have a large bio-load, larger water changes may be in order.

when you say bio-load you are refering to algae amounts and water deposits?

 

[BCreefmaker]

bio-load is fish waste or anything left over from feedings.... i.e. more animals = more waste + more feedings = higher bio-load

I would do a 2 gallon change every week with a higher bioload. Maybe after the tank has matured a bit you can do 1 gallon a week. Or 2 gallons every other week.
