I have been pretty good at weekly water changes, generally 10-15%. Not the worst thing I do.

However, I have an extra Dos and was thinking of doing auto water changes. I was wondering for those tha have done this, any tips or tricks

What % do you change out a week or a month?

How much brewed salt water do you have on hand. I like to try and have 3-4 weeks of things do I’m not creating weekly todos.

Better to have brewed water closer to tank or does it mater?

I’ve heard people seem to like ATO…please share ant do and don’t s
 
I do 15% weekly on my DoS AWC. I like to have 2 weeks worth of water so I have time to forget still refill it in time.

Only trick is to not use the “wizard” setup because then it runs one of the pumps backwards for some reason, making it way more complicated to regularly calibrate the pumps.

I love it and it’s been very reliable for years with no issues.
