Experiment continues more than 7 years - 102g without changing water

I use tap water (TDS 500-700). He did not change the water and did not add any chemicals.

Beautiful and a good example that it is possible to run a good aquarium without spending a furtune.

Hello
My name is Vlad. I live in Kharkov, Ukraine

Let me represent you my marine aquarium (MA) and explain it’s maintenance.
My Marine Aquarium (MA) starting from 27.01.2011
Smart top off micro makes a very good one for round 100 bucks





My MA system contents:

Heater 2 pcs 100w
Pump flow Boyu WM- 2 + SunSun JVP-101
Light 150W mg + 7pcs. blue LEDs cre + 2 pcs. T5 24W actinic



My MA Maintanance:
Once per day – manually adding water (you could combine it with feeding for time saving). I haven’t seen good auto water top up device yet.



Topping up my MA with tap water (settled for one day).
The idea of "topping up method" instead of “replacement” is that the drinking water from the tap (if tap water is not suitable then you can use spring water) you add everything what’s needed in your MA.



The experiment lasts from of November 2012

Today, it has been exactly 8 years since my marine aquariums have been living on tap water. During this time, I did not make water changes and did not make any additions.
