Yeah I’m still doing my part for sure. My water changes are roughly about 16% every two weeks. Sometimes I let it go further out if I’m busy but that’s the general scheduleBut you still have to diligently keep up with your part like water changes etc... your original question about bacteria also this is why I dose PNS probio weekly and also Reef Actif weeklyto make sure the good guys always outnumber the bad guys.
