[SnookSlayer08]

5 gal a week on 40brd with 20long sump

 

[dan223]

0% per week or month, maybe 1% a year if i feel like it

Sounds nice, any pics of the results? It would be nice not dumping all that salt down the drain.
I do about 20g on a 90g total system 1 per month.

I been seeing this tank in person and he's tank is awesome.

Sanababit use algae Scrubber in he's tank,I think that's he's secret.

he's nitrates are always 0ppm with out doing any water change in the tank,may be unbelievable but that's the truth

he's tank is very simple in equipment, nothing fancy or crazy, except for the vortech's

maybe he can tell us more details about he's tank

Lol

he's tank is 3 years old already and he's been doing this almost since the start,I'm not recommended to people to stop doing water change in tank that always been doing water changes or so, because this will cause a unbalance in the tank.
