Water Changes? How Frequent? How much?

[saltman123]

I was wondering what everyone's water change schedule is like?

Do you change the water every week? Every 2 weeks? Even longer?

Do you change 10%? 20%? Even More?

I am currently change about 2 to 2.5 gallons of my 12 gallon tank every week or two. Lately it has been closer to every 2 weeks. My tank is doing superb!

Anyone else care to share what their nano water change schedule is like?

i'm an advocate of 10% weekly, but i don't run a skimmer

 

[sharrison]

I know a few people that jsut run a good skimmer only and never do water changes. They have reef setups
