i have two clumps of cheato, don't feed much, tank is approx. 7 mos. old. probably not enough clean up crew; 2 red leg hermits, one blue leg, 4 large turbos, 1 coral banded shrimp, 1 conk. since the 'trates get up to @ 20 b/4 changes, then lower to @ 10 or so, i just thought if i could get them real low to begin with, maybe they'd only go to 10 or so between changes. how soon between changes is safe?
thanks for all the help & responses!
