bros, 4 weeks ng walang WC ang tank ko, so far ok naman ang mga LS, tinitrim ko lang ang chaeto weekly. pwede naman though di ko sya inaadvise,di ko lang maasikaso kaya puro top off at dosing ng 2 part solution ang pinagagawa ko sa binilinan kong tao.

yes, softies dominated lang yung tank ko plus low fish load

Haha, mukhang naglalabasan na mga madalang mag water change, hehe
Di lang pala ako nag-iisa

Actually may mga nababasa me na if regular and good ang cleaning and maintenance sa tank, you could go away with lesser water changes

I don't do water changes anymore din, kasi i think medyo magastos at matrabaho if i do it often... i just make sure to dose the calcium, alk, mg, k, and other trace elements... i only switch on my skimmer for an hour every week just to take out solid debris after i stir up sand and dirt. I maintain a lot of algae growth in the system to control nitrate and phosphate levels, (this is why i decided NOT to take care of tangs)... ok naman ang LS ko for many months without WC...

i know someone who hasn't done any WCs since his tank was cycling.. now, it's been more than a year.. he said he's just adding supplements.. the fishes are fine, but after looking carefully at the corals, i wouldn't say they're in a good condition.. the shrooms are kinda melting (but they're still whole, not quite a sight though), the gonio is pale, almost the same color as it's base, the gorgonia is big, but it's kinda leaning down, and the others, well you know what i mean.. maybe this would also depend on one's setup? haven't seen his equips though..

@iric
bro, you still did WCs the last time i saw your tank right? :shock:
corals die faster than fish when even one of your parameters is off the charts..
