The bigger the tank the easier it is to keep parameters in check. Bigger is always better.
I'd do 50% WC's regardless of stock. Every week. Take water out, then put Prime in then fill tank up. No need sitting buckets out for 24 hours.
If you live in an area where chloramines are used in municipal tap water, you definitely need to add Prime. The bonding of chlorine to a bromine allows the chlorine to remain in solution longer instead of dissipating out of water as a gas. That means that simply setting the water out in buckets for a day will not remove the chlorine from the new water.
Also, it's a good idea to temp match the new water to within +/-2 degrees of the running system to prevent temperature shock.
