I do bi monthley waterchanges and dose purple up biweekly and iodide and strontium monthley. i do about 30% when i do a change. i havent done a water change in about 6 weeks this is the longest ive gone. i have done a top up or two. but no water changes and my tank looks the cleanest iit ever has.!!!!!!! i dont get it. glass rock substraight all clean as a whistle. i should mention i have cut my feeding down again. had to up it a ittle as some hermits and a litlte coral went missing. feel i have a good amount now.

When i do do water changes i use tap water with safe powder (minimal amount) to dechlorinate and de nitrate. and use coral marine sea salt. this salt has 72 trace elements aswell as a dechlor. i mix my water a minimum of a day in advanve to a monthe in advance.
