With zeo and tm balling I should have zero nutrients and water should be topped up on the big three plus trace.
So what's the point of a water change at this point? I haven't stopped my routine only slowed it down from 10g a week to 5g

This is a very good question and I'm curious myself. We are all trained to believe that a water change is the bees knees, but if you're running on balling, have a really good skimmer and run carbon to take out dissolved organics, then is it ?
I do agree that the NSW helps to, well, freshen up the water, but is it needed ? Who knows.
It would be an interesting experiment. Although possibly a difficult one to conduct.
