Water changes

[bluerug]

How many of you out there do water changes on your anemone tanks? And how many of you out there just add water?

 

[graveyardworm]

I think most do both, add water to replace evaporated water, and regular water changes to keep the water clean.

 

[AquaReeferMan]

Yeah I do both.

I know some people that have dsb's that never do water changes and just add water. Is this a normal thing or do a lot of people do this.

There are some people who support this, but I don't think it's a good idea. It's like having a tank without a skimmer. Sure, you can do it, but why remove the measure of protection and risk losing everything? Many proponents (not all) of both of these methods eventually either stop posting or change their minds after a tank crash.
