Great results w/o water changes. Just shows that there are tons of approaches to reefing. Your tank is beautiful and I bet, very interesting to observe in live!

Amazing Softy Setup! I once was a non believer of the people who said that they Never do water changes, until I tried it! I have a RSM 500 135g and haven't done a water change in about 2 1/2 years and I can say, It can be done! But Mine doesn't come close to how Beautiful your Corals are doing! Great Job!

Nice tank Dmitry. Are you using a planted tank methodology on this (guided growth through trimming and removal) or is it more a survival of the fittest and guidance through incremental additions? Sharing your dosing regimen might be helpful to people considering this approach.

Man, nice tank. How do you go without water changes? That would be great! Especially with that algae in there in the early stages!?

WOW and your images look fantastic! Would you mind sharing your camera / editing software? Your images have great depth and don't wash out. Probably has to do with your lighting as well. Fantastic!
