To err is human, but to do the same error all over again is stupid.
If don't have patience for the hobby, it's better to quit.

bi-monthly, 15% per change. 
haven't changed water yet for 2 months running. (mas marumi pa yung carti water kesa sa tubig ko.
)
that explains why my nitrate is fluctuates at 5-10 ppm. (depende sa quantity at type ng food na pinakakain ko sa fishes. )
pero starting this month, i'll be doing weekly water changes of 10%.

And God said let the water teem with living creatures and he saw that it was good.

clamguy> yes, adding sugar in a skimmerless tank can easily deplete O2 levels. (almost anoxic) due to the "buko juice effect". (precipitation of carbon, probably. or maybe bacterial blooms. no sufficient evidence yet.)
did the same experiment too last year. 10 suddenly drops to 0. (or 5. hell, you really can't tell when using API)
do this on a skimmerless and the tank ends up with lots of brown goop.
anyway, the sudden drop of nitrates is really intriguing, but i can't seem to link sugar to nitrate reduction. sugar is carbon and hydrogen, while nitrates are from nitrogen.
something's amiss.
oh, BTW (OT)
pappone (the italian coral food) also has sugar in it.
