Mike, I do the same as you (5 gal w/cs weekly) in my seahorse tank, only because they are fed SO much, so it is necessary in a tank of that size. I honestly don't think you would notice much of difference in breaking up the water changes though, provided you changed the same amount of water, although it could only help your tank, not hurt it. JMHO though.

What do you think the advantages vs. disadvantages would be in the case of one 5g w/c vs. several water changes weekly totalling 5g?

Advantages: Less dramatic change in water params. More frequent "refreshing" of trace elements and such. Less water to lug = easier on your back (well, if you had a larger tank that would be important).

Disadvantages: *If* you are doing something wrong when you do a water change (ie dramatic water temperature drop, stressing fish, etc), then it occurs more frequently, possibly irritating things more. I doubt this is the case for you though, so I really cannot see anything wrong with it.

All in all, not much, IMO. I may be leaving out stuff though, so you probably want to find a second opinion.

Makes sense. I would not be getting as much nutrient export with the smaller, more frequent changes, but I do have a packed refugium and skimmer. Besides, I have plenty of corals, so trace element replenishment should be a primary concern.

Bonjour tous mes amis qui adorent le poisson. Je souhaite que cela a un lundi merveilleux.

Cooleo. Now we need a French person to speak up and say if it's legit (I personally don't trust those translators--I know too many kids who have failed because they used them on papers!)

[pixburg-reefer]

I have done plenty of papers with them and the only problem is when you misspell and english word so it shows the english word in the middle of the spanish text.

[pixburg-reefer]

stop that go do your paper you are never going to get it done

What kind of school do you go to? All my teachers can tell a translator a mile away. Surprising you've not been caught.

[fred says]

My teacher could tell last year and she actually failed a couple of students for it, but this year we have a new teacher.

Lucky, but you are really only hurting yourself.

Arsenal - Man United tomorrow at 3 live on 105.4 Century FM

[pixburg-reefer]

haha its fun to mess around on and send people random stuff in other languages

[Jordan55]

They are crappy. I have only used them to look for a phrase or small sentence. Most of them are set in our higher levels of different language like Spanish 5 or something. A lot of teachers know at my school because of all the words that look different.
