This has been a debate of mine for a few years when I had a tank up and running I did a water change every 2 weeks religiously and then I deployed for 7 months and my wife never did a single change when I got back it was the best the tank had ever been so it is interesting to see what people say
I try and do 5 gallons every 2 weeks in a 70 gallon total system, but that's more so because I'm fighting algae and sucking a ton out. Some people have great success with none at all and just dosing Ca/Alk/Mag as needed...then there's the guy on RC that's doing 16 gallon weekly changes on a 60gal system lol

If your tank is experiencing issues you may need to vacuume and do water changes often to resolve. I have done water changes every few days to win battles. It just depends... you figure out what your tank needs over time. Initially come up with a plan and be consistent. You can back off a bit and watch results. If ok stick with that for a while before changing again. Try to be consistent and be sure to use RO water.
