As I recall, Anthony did a chart about this. Am not quoting the chart but it essentially stated
100 Gallon tank
100 Gallon water change = 100% water change
100 one gallon water changes = 90% water change
I think, I can not find the chart now but hey that is plenty effcient if I am even close to his chart.
ON the roti feeder, couldnt you just keep this system seperate from the auto top off? What I mean is that the auto topoff is pretty important (even more so when on vacation, and the only reason I had to make one btw) I like the idea but again the KISS principal is sort of the goal here? Neat concept however.. As long as it would not contribute to the failure rate of the system (key word was "careful eye on roti pops")
