Burnt out, I love you man! You are validating my methodology (which I was afraid to put out there). I stopped testing for almost everything about 7 years ago. PH is on a meter, temp is on a meter, alk and calcium get tested about once a month. I tested for magnesium a bunch of times last year but it never changed. I do water changes and drip Kalk for the makeup. I tested for Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate for about 8 years without ever getting a measurable reading. I would get some phosphate readings from time to time and get concurrent algae growth. Now when algae starts to grow, I just change the resin without ever even testing for phosphate.
I tell all of my friends that this is the easiest hobby that I ever had. They never believe me!

We never test either. We gauge everything by how it looks, reacts, etc. We've found this hobby to be extremely easy, seriously.
Don't shoot me!

 

[RLMainers]

Oops, way off track. I'm interested in learning about the Dragon Sea Moth, too!

 

[exacta123]

I agree this hobby is as easy as you make it if my tank looks great then why start testing for things

 

[bigredwalk]

I donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t test either just do water change every week test if I add something new for a week I am normal I thought I was just lazy LOL I have had no problems 12 months in

This thread is officially hi-jacked... I don't test much either but I have all the test stuff right there so when something looks funny I can test for it.

oh, and Sea Dragon Moth.
