Hellllooooo
I have been researching SW FOWLR tanks for a while in the hope of getting either the Fluval 53l or the Fluval 19l Spec V for Christmas.
I have been a fresh water girly for my whole life since I was 10 and have always thought that weekly water changes of 30 to 50 percent was what everyone did no matter if it was fresh or salt water to combat the waste produced by fish.
However now I am rather befuddled because many Pro Reefers seem to say that doing water changes is not needed. I get that the nitrogen cycle breaks down the waste but I thought that because there were still nitrates water changes were needed.
Does salt water magic away poop, does it disappear, it is eaten? I am confuddled. Help would be very appreciated please because the mystery of fish poop is baffling me lol
Thanks for reading the long crappy (pun intended) post )
