I am glad/amazed you guys have success without testing... I guess I am just anal... I test weekly. Any experienced reefer should be able to read their tank by looking at the corals yes, however it is not possible to maintain your pH and alk ect by simply looking at your tank. :reading:
My params are rarely off, but i still believe in weekly testing for piece of mind...

Ok, ok, so I'm a partial liar My apex handles my temp/pH, and I have GEO equipment so parameters are rock solid

The good thing about softies, if that's all you keep... much easier to keep parameters if you keep up with water changes than a LPS/SPS tank.

I'd like to think I can spot any issues at this point, but I think it might also be that I'm lazy... The only issues I had recently were from a miscalibrated refractometer, but the tank is only softies and euphyllias so they're pretty forgiving as far as alk/ph etc go. If I was still doing SPS I'd be testing weekly though.

OP, I just noticed where you're from, did you get those from aquarium outfitters? I like those guys, not much chop shop mentality there

Exactly. I have mainly softies/lps, but a few sps specimens.
