There are probably more than 100x this thread already but I've lost the search functionality on my IPad. I have a 260g with a constant drip attached. It drips at 0.8gph or 140 gallons per week ~50% we per week overall. My bioload is pretty heavy. My nitrates are running under 40.

Maybe because my drip is continous, I should focus on something like an avg weekly rate rather than actual. Have to think about it.

I think that I have a relatively low bio load, but that may change as the tenants get bigger.

Currently 50% every two weeks, for 300gallons (tank and sump).

Edit: I try to drain the tank as low as possible at around 9" of water (not to go too low for the aro). But with the sump it's still only 50%.
