ECO-Aqualizer's greatest proven and tested benefit is restoring water quality and keeping it from deteriorating. This results in a constantly stable and healthy balance within the aquarium.   After the first month of using ECO, you can begin to eliminate your monthly water change maintenance.   We suggest using the following schedule:        
                           X   XX    Freshwater tanks            Saltwater tanks                    REEF tanks                   DISCUS tanks
After  month  1 : 5% water change                 10% water change                   10% water change  w          10%  bi-monthly
After  month  2 : Not necessary                    Not necessary                        5% water change                10%  bi-monthly
After  month  3 : Not necessary                    Not necessary                        Not necessary                   10%  bi-monthly
After  month  4 : 5% water change                 10% water change                   10% water change   ww       10%  bi-monthly
After  month  5 : Not necessary                    Not necessary                        Not necessary                   10%  bi-monthly
After  month  6 : Not necessary                    Not necessary                        10% water change     w       10%  bi-monthly        

Continue following this schedule, but closely monitor and test your water parameters periodically. Every tank is different with varying livestock loads, so adjustments in water change percentages may need some attention.  And in many cases, you probably will be able to reduce your water changes even more than charted above.

For REEF tanks, water changes help replenish trace elements, so we strongly suggest keeping a close eye on your parameters. However, the scheduled water changes above help create a more stable natural ecosystem with less fluctuations and eliminates unnecessary stress factors.
