I have 150 gallon total and I do two 5 gallon changes a week. 5 gallons is small enough that it's no big deal. 5 gallon drinking water jugs weigh maybe 45 pounds full.
people who go with "almost" no Water Changes needed!

So what are you doing instead of water change. How do you remove nutrients and what kind of supplement and how much feeding? Was there any corals or anemones that you cannot keep. We're there any that just grow out of control?
I do water change but t every time I do water change Dino start to grow and gradually die off until my next water change. If I was going to grow, Dino I would say that water change is essential for growth

This is my tool
It includes controlling all essential water parameters
I prefer not to grow dino's, so no wc for me...
I have 200+ species of corals
The only thing impossible to keep are NPS corals

Glenn,
I am surprised that you feel you can rely on Salifert Strontium test results. I do not find it dependable.

Same here. I have fish, fire shrimp, huge RBTAs, zoas. Lots of rock and a good skimmer. I was not able to grow any corals, I already gave up on it. I do a lot of water top off. Since nothing consumes the elements, I think all is well.

These were random values. Just to show how the calculator work.

I know....
There were some batches with very poor reagents (the turning of the color in step4 was not very clear.
I tested a good working one with reference and that worked just fine.

:fish1: I like doing my water changes, it's fun going out in the boat, collecting my water and hopefully a few fish for dinner, coming home and cleaning the boat and gear is not a whole lot of fun, but it's part of the process of boating and fishing, or diving. I then drain water from the sump and refuge into a floor drain, and pump water from boat which is in the garage, back into the tank. Adding all the trace elements to your system to replace the ones your system uses, just doesn't seem like as much fun as going out in the boat. But if you are landlocked and far from a clean supply of NSW, then your system is a lot easier then doing water changes, unless you have an automated, water change system, especially if you live in a cold winter climate. :fish1:
Any chance of a Picture of your tank with inhabitants?
