I’m new to this thread but not the hobby. I’ve had reef tanks for the past 15 years and have various corals and fish, octopus, stingrays and sharks. I hate water changes so I don’t do them unless I have to. Currently I have 9 tanks up and running 120gal, 90galx2, 55galx3, 1gal nano 50gal cube(quarantine tank) and a 30 gal hex.
Welcome to reef2reef. No wonder you hate water changes. That's a lot of water to change

Yeah it is a lot. But the way I run most of my tanks macro algae in the fuge keeps the No3 and Po4 down so mostly all I have to do is add top off RO water and dose two 2 with some trace elements. Basically I’ve been doing the triton method before triton coin the term. I’m a firm believer that everything your tank should have a purpose and your tank should be a self contained ecosystem. With a few exceptions like that really cool fish that you just have to have. I have yet found a way to be able to run this method with an octopus tank or stingray tank. But I’m working on it.
