But the point of the thread and my question really is how much is optimal as well as easily manageable.
I emulated TMZ's and Randy's practice of 1% daily. Their advice is always good, IMO.

My water change is automated via a Cole Parmer Dual Head Masterflex Peristaltic Dosing pump. Bought the entire setup off ebay used for $225. Probably one of the best things I have done for my reef and myself.
