38 gallon stocking help.

[evil wizard]

I currently have
1 blue gourami
2 bristlenose plecos
1 SAE
9 red eye tetras
And about 30 mystery snails. i am looking to thin it out to about 10 snails.
I have these fish in another tank waiting for me to stop being lazy and move them, so they have to go in the tank.
6 cory's
I am thinking about adding a few more fish, The fish I am thinking about adding are these.
6 more cory for a total of 12
2 SAE
11 red eye tetras.

I do two 10 gallon water changes a week on this tank, but that can easily be changed to four 10 gallon water changes a week. I am currently running a marineland canister c360 and a smaller filter which I can not seem to think of the name right now.
What do you think?

I think it is do-able, but I would make larger WC, not more frequent.

Well I do my water changes on saturday and sunday. I do my water changes at 8:00 PM. If I were to do 2 more water changes the new water changes would be in the morning, then it would get two 10 gallon water changes each day for both days. So even though it is only getting 10 gallons changed out each time it is getting it changed twice a day.

That is not what I meant. Why not do a 20 gal change once a week? It is math, doing a 20gal change is better then doing 2 10gal changes.

I would stick to what he said....larger changes have more of an effect and don't need to be done twice.

Ok so 20 gallon water changes from now on, got it.
