    It seems logical (to me anyway maybe not to anyone else) that smaller more frequent changes would be better. First of all, it would mean less of a swing in minerals, pH, salinity, etc. Also it seems that it would be easier to handle smaller changes vs the larger ones. Seems that it would be less of a hassle and job with the smaller volume.

    Just my thought-seems good to me may not work for somebody else.
