Are water changes still necessary with today’s knowledge on reef chemistry and it’s effectiveness?
are water changes really effective in reducing nitrates and maybe even some phosphates ?
if we now have many ways of nutrient export and ways to dose trace and major elements, why water change (unless to rid your tank of something foreign).
what ways can one rely on nutrient export and are there methods that really don’t help ? I’ve heard some rumors that protein skimmers don’t remove much proteins in the water. Could this be true ?
