lightningstrike Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 IMHO, as long as the SW u buy is safe and in good condition, i dun think there will be any problems........ but how much of ur tank volume u change per week..... that's crucial.

SRC Member tahir69 Posted May 11, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 11, 2004 i just changes abt 20% if i ride my motorbike to get the SW, but if i drive then i changes more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningstrike Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 20 to 25% should be more than enough. u can forget abt dosing additives too if u r doing weekly water change....... that is if ur corals do not take up all the necessary elements within 3 days!!! which i doubt so.

I change 20% weekly by mixing my own using Coralife...been using the big tub. IMO, its perfectly fine to change weekly. But i wouldn't take the risk to get from the farms or lfs, too risky for me cos i never know wats contained in their water. Better to have things under ur own control.
