After its established and you dont over feed a 20-30% every 2 weeks would be fine. With a well set up tank, it will require minimal water changes, just enough to keep nitrate levels down. I use purigen in my set ups and i can confitently say a WC once a month would be fine.

But i over feed :lol: so they get a %20 once a week.

Long term salties are easier to took after than freshies! :D

Hehehehe

Just wait till you get bitten by the bug.

And I'm only going to have one little salt water tank at the shop, so it won't be anywhere near you.




Anyway, it's all Ben's fault.
