Is it possible to go 1 year 6 months with no water change? Well thats where im at. now the next move maybe .

I'm thinking of moving from a 3 part dosing to randy's two part dosing, im dosing alk,mag, and cal with 3 pumps if i go to 2 part will i be hurting my system? and by that i'm concerned about alk or mag swings.

Depends on what your keeping. Little to no water changes can be done with proper nutrient export and replenishment of key elements for corals. GFO, GAC, refugium.. .. .etc. would be ideal.

2 part is really no different than 3 part, other than rarely dosing mag. Really not much different.

To answer you question directly, Yes it is possible to go 1 year and 6 month with no water change. obviously you've already don't it.

If you parameters are good I would just keep doing what you're doing.
