Water Changes
A water change is the act of removing detritus while exchanging old tank water with clean saltwater. We all know we need to perform this task, however the When, How and the How Much are open for great debates amongst the hobbyists themselves.

Wes, the Drymat is a great suggestion. I'd never heard of them but I will be ordering one.

I use them all the time. They are awesome for pulling apart canisters right next to the tank. I'm amazed at the amount of water they absorb.

Rob,
This is more of a PC/Windows query rather than aquatic but when I open the links to reef readers I never seem to be able to see the pictures. Is it a Java plug in or something I need to add...?
Thanks.
P.S. I'm on Vista

I think that Rob said he is still working on getting the pictures back.
