That would be all at once. I have been blessed with really good water quality and it doesn't seem to affect the fish at all. They start eating within a couple of hours after the exchange.


What about the salt? Are you going to prep some water in advance? What about changing water quality parameters too quickly? Any possibility of accumulation over time?

Do you think there may be some induced stress on a repeated basis?

Look up what a sine wave is and apply this cycle to it.


I completely understand where you're going with this. I am trying to put the same amount of salt in every time.


Water evaporates, salt don't. So when you change water, you'll have to determine the correct dose of fresh water to prepared water with what is remaining in your tank. Easier said than done, but you won't be killing a biofilter if you get it a tad out of whack.
