+1 I'm maintaining 5 systems that are 15 to 20 years old although none of them have DSB. All of them have had cycles where the corals don't seem to expand as much or grow as much even though water parameters are ok but it is corrected with bigger or more frequent water changes. Sometimes alkalinity or calcium have dropped. Sometimes I've seen very long gradual drops in pH. Sometimes phosphates have started to climb. All reasons not to always trust the ol' eyball (even though I do a lot) and test periodicly.
