One year without a water change ICP report card

[nashorn]

So it's been 1 year and 3 month without water changes.
Ok salinity went down once and had to top off with new water.

Here's my report card

Are you running Triton Method?

Are you running Triton Method?

Nope, I just felt the tank was more stable when I didn't change the water.
Or I'm just too lazy

Any pictures of the tank and coral?

Can you give some more details about what you do instead of water changes? Like additives, etc? I’m just curious.

Looks great! What’s your system? Dosing, reactors, etc.?

Beautiful corals! Everything looks healthy which seems a lot more informative than any ICP results

are you dosing strontium?

 

[swk]

Ah... using my lazy man method but looks like you're using 2 part?

Thanks, tank is on a roll right now. Color is good but I can't grow an inch to a colony like others.
I don't dose strontium so guess it's in the kalkwasser?

Here some details I posted in another forum :

I'll been doing no water changes on my 57gal tank for a little over a year now.
Tank started 4 yrs ago major crash 2yrs ago and a few things survived
Details
-Top off with tap water(60tds) with prime
using a kalk reactor
- only testing only salinity
- volka dosing since start
-oversized skimmer
-using a Zeovit reactor and stones to grow the mulm
- dosing 2 part ,reef elements , iodine( noticed blue zoa regain color after)and sponge powder
Tried acro power but not sure if it's doing anything. Also a few Zeovit snake oils but who knows.
- 3 radion xr30 gen3
I only buy Frags an inch or less so they don't seem to grow too fast.
I recently sent water in for ICP testing so waiting to see what the numbers will be.
Oh yea 3 big fish
-blue tang ( 10yrs old poor thing stuck in a small tank)
-purple tang same age
- Xmas wrasse (a year hopenot would eat red flat worms)

I'm too lazy to do a 5 gal water change think I'll would have a thread....lol
Yea I did before my 1st crash but heart broken when my corals died off. I actually del all the pic from Photobucket.
I'm looking at doing another one but some of the local threads are so awesome I'm embarrassed to.
Tank is small and lots of pest.
