Yep, and setting things up so that they are easier for you
is key. When it's easy, it gets done.

I do 6 gallons change in my 55 gallon tank weekly. Because of all the
rocks and corals, it's probably more than 15%. The RO/DI has to be run
weekly anyhow, and some green algae has to be removed that often and the
additives are used weekly + the coral feeding and the anemone's weekly
shrimp diet, so it just seems convenient. Also, 6 gallons is how much
fits in the pail, so I don't have to measure the level in the tank. It
just seems all around simpler to do all the weekly stuff at once.
