LARS stands for LAZY *** REEFKEEPER SYNDROME.

Formerly diagnosed as "OLD TANK SYNDROME".

Of course, I'm not suffering a case of either over here. I have deliberately stopped doing water changes to see what gets depleted over time in my aquarium so that I may be aware of what my husbandry skills need to address.

I plan on send in an ICP test in the very near future. This is the most important aspect of Triton method (IN MY OPINION)- to be able to discern what is being depleted in a low to no water change situation in a relatively closed system.
