First my rule of thumb is feed only what your fish consume in 1 minute. If there is still food after 1 minute then you fed too much.
Second it is perfectly fine to do 2-3 water changes a week, as long as you make sure the ph and temperture are the same as your tank.
we have a member that would change 75% of his water every week, and had some of the best sucsess with plant I have seen
You have to keep on top of the algae before it gets out of hand with constant trimming and cleaning.
