Reefing newb
When deciding our tank, this is also something I want to keep in mind. How much and how often do you guys change/replace water in reef tanks with fish?
Is there anyone who does not replace per month? Is it possible to have a perfect running environment where levels stay fine? Or you just have to replce no matter what?
I do a 50% once a month. If my water parms start to get way off I do a 50% followed by several 25%s over the course of a week.

Yes, but that really only happens in very mature tanks that have been set up for years. It takes a long time for tanks to become self-sustaining. And even then, you have to add additives to compensate for what the corals are using and removing from the water. It's pretty hard to have a system like this. Very few are successful.
