Yeah actually to be exact I do 16g because one of my buckets is a 6g. But I don't do WC to replenish anything at all, but rather remove organics and a little Po4 and No3. Maybe add a tiny amount of trace elements since I never ever dose them. But that's not my goal at all. |

Well I just learned something new... Thanks Jason Your dosing now so you don't want to replenish anything with a WC imo. If you weren't dosing that'd be different. Let's say your tanks constantly at Cal-425 Alk-8.5 and Mag-1350 and you do a WC with RC at Cal-450 Alk-12 and Mag-1400 what's gonna happen? Everything's going up (although only a little) it's still consistently raising your levels slightly and creating instability. |

mine figures out to be about 7% water change with a 5 gal bucket. based on my assumption i have about 65-70 gal total system. it takes me about 5 mins to siphon out 5 gal and replace it .

 Cleaned things up a bit, more to do tonight. Was a busy summer and not much time to play with the tank |
