Water Changes....?

Hi guys,

Im thinking of upgrading to a Red Sea 250l aquarium... How often would you think water changes need to be performed on a tank of this size? I currently have a 125l tank and do a 5-10% water change each week. I heard with bigger tanks weekly changes arent required?

Water changes are always needed in my opinion, only massive tanks with calcium and nitrate reactors that dose all the elements under the sun can do without them.

10% is a good figure to stick to TBH it's the cheapest way to keep your water good in small ranks (small being anything under 5 foot lol)

Oooh someone is feeling rich I would say between 25 - 50L a week.

I would look at other tanks to be honest will get a nicer tank for your money but just my opinion
