Minus those that I envy with auto drips, do the vast majority of you change water this frequently?

I do about 15% each day and then once a week a 50% but I have one 55g and use my aqueon water changer. Looks like you are pretty regular with it, how do you decide on how much to change?

On WC day, my goal is 75% per tank. However, with the 5 tanks, I just go with the flow based on the amount of pythons and hoses that I used. I shoot for the goal, but I take up the kitchen faucet so the wifey dictates my regime. I can usually knock out all 5 tanks in 1.5 hours.

Hope that makes sense.

After the holiday season, aka Tax Returns time, I will be setting up a drip. I'll make a thread of the project so you all can learn from my mistakes. ;-)
 
Min. 50% on all tanks pretty much every saturday or sunday

Every Monday 50%. Mid week a vacuum that takes maybe 10-20%
 
Picked this up. Apparently I was using way too much Prime!

I run plant filtratin so if im after clear water like befor one of my video up dates then i do vacume then 25% monday then 30% to 40% thursday and do my video friday night.

With the plant system i need less water changes around 25% every 2 weaks but the unfortuanate side effect is a yellow tint to the water that UV seems to help with but not fully clear up.
