i recycle water from my main display into these tanks. each week i do a 50% water change. i drain 50% of the water out of the fish qaurentine and discard it. then i drain water from the frag tank to fill the quarentine, and then pump water from my display to fill the frag tank before doing a larger water change on the main display. that way i get 15 gallons of water change but only use up 5 gallons of fresh salt mix, and my quarentine tanks are always at the same parameters as my main display.
On average you perform a 55.6% water change every 13 days.
