Water Changes in LPS tanks?

[forddna]

I have a mix of LPS and Softies, and I'd like to know what all of you do for water changes - volume and frequency??

TIA!

20% every week same day no matter what .

 

[forddna]

Nobody else does water changes?

 

[JStorey]

same. 20% every week.

 

[El Camaron]

20 to 30 % every one to two weeks, depending on how much bioload i have pulled out and what the parameters say.

 

[forddna]

Those of you who are changing weekly:

1. Do you keep any SPS in those tanks?

2. What is your bioload? (light, moderate, heavy?)

I change about 15% weekly, more if my nitrates are up, low fish bioload but lots of feeding and little to no skimming. All my tanks are 33 gallons or less though.

 

[marshellman]

what all do you have in your tank?

I do about 15% a week the tank is lightly stocked with lps Elegance/Frogspawn/plate coral. light fish load about to be a heavy load once i get my order in then the water changes will probably go up. will also be getting more frogspawn, torch and another plate

 

[PoukieBear]

I do about 5% weekly. I don't have a huge fish bioload though. I have four fish, the rest are corals.

I have multiple tanks. I do 30% every other week. All tanks have SPS, one is dominated SPS.
