Ok today I tackled the thing that all reefers most likely cringe when they think about. My first real water change. I have done some in the past but they were upgrade tank add bigger sump lalalala. My tank is 100gal and my sump 55gal about half full so figure 130 proximally so the amount I decided on was 30gal. Here is how I did it First I turned off the return from my sump but left my canister on which is two different systems. I then drained out 30gal using 5gal water bottles to insure accuracy. I then Used a 15gal tub formally used as my sump and filled it with tap water yes tap water mixed with Stress Coat + Tap Water Conditioner it’s the best I could do. After mixing the salt in like a big pot of soup I turned back on my return pump and adjusted the BAL valve one quarter and dropped a power head in the soup pot. When all water was back in the tank a dosed with stress coat for the fish and business as usual. Just for the heck of it I added some pictures.

TEMP 79
SALL 33

NO3 0
NO2 0.05

for future water changes you should "stress should" mix the water a day a head of time so that all of the salt is dissolved and that the water is up to temp. does not take much, just a pump, and heater and some time. Hopefully you will be getting an ro/di systems soon!!!!! other then that everything looks great!
