Wow really freaking cool tank. think you have inspired me to do no water changes haha! I am wondering though do you feel at all limited on your coral selection since you dont do water changes? Really awesome tank though and congrats.

No carbon, no gfo, no dosing pumps, no water changes...
Softies, lps, sps in the same system... Ceramic rings and bioballs... Beautiful tank. I give up trying to understand this hobby.

Great Tank. Maybe I'm overthinking my planned 125g set up

Can someone pleeeease explain to me how one could have a successful tank, running for at least 1 or 2 years, and not do 1 water change. I understand that you can add depleted elements but what about filthy water? Would the water parameters be stable?? HOw is this possible? What do you have to do to maintain tank?

I also wish someone could explain the phenomenon of this tank. Running almost 4 years and no WC? I understand that you can add back the minerals but what about all the trace one iron strontium etc? This tank just amazes me.
