Water changing techniques...

[jnichols]

Just need some water changing tips. I just put in my first acro frag and was wondering if there is a good way to do a water change with little change of the water parameters. I have hard corals, soft corals, fish and inverts, but I am a little concerned with the acro. Any help would be great.

BTW: WELCOME !!!
On water changes,,,,hmmmm depends on a lot of things,
size of tank/how much of a change,,,
how "off" is the tank water,,,

Myself,at this time, siphon out,pour in,,,
when i get the 200 in the basement, along with the other tanks, it'll be siphon/pump out,,,,pump in,,
all my acro's at this time are on eggcrate fastened to the front glass,i just move them lower, do the change, and put them back where they were b4,,,no probs.
best scenario: pumped out of a sump,and a fairly fast drip back in, i would think.

IMO. it's better to do more,smaller w/c's than a large one (if/when water param's are "off" )
also, temp/salinity as close as you can,,,
hope this in any way answered your question somewhat,,,

BTW: my acro's never showed being bothered by my w/c's,,
