Hi from the Netherlands!
Its a very sensitive topic and debate can go on and on but since I saw the Instagram post from R2R about no water change. So I'm sharing my tank. For me a no waterchange reef tank is more than possible! you just have to find a solid method that can guide and support you all the way and I found it 13 months ago.
I'm originally from New Zealand and started my reefing journey there. I had 13 gallon reef but man!!! that was a hardwork hobby. Doing waterchages 2x a week was a mission and being a first time dad.
(My first aquaone nano reef 55liters)
In 2018 i have sell my first ever reef because i have to moved to the Netherlands.
Early 2019 I was talking to my reefing friend from New Zealand as I was planning to build a nano again and my friend told me about this DSR method that I should try it since I live in the Netherlands anyway. Since trying it i never looked back.
This my 32gallons/125liters nano 50cm cube.
Tank is running the DSR method (Dutch Synthetic Reefing) its a no waterchange method. This tank been in this method since day one 13months ago.
Tank lighting is AI Hydra 26HD with 4 ATI t5 bulbs 2x blue plus and 2x actinic.
Tank parameters are.
Alkalinity 9dkh
Calcium 440ppm
Magnesium 1350ppm
No3 2.5ppm
Po4 0.04ppm
