Lately - after a couple items failed and having problems in the past with various algae outbreaks, chemical methods to control algae, etc etc. I've come to the conclusion that 'simpler is better' - So - for my current tank I have a skimmer, some carbon in the sump - and dose 2 part using weekly testing. Since abandoning other methods - chaeto, chemicals, etc - My tank (tested weekly) has never been more 'stable' - with excellent coral growth. I do a 25 percent water change every 2 weeks. I have found I spend less money on this - than I would be with lots of equipment and testing, ICP tests, etc. Of course every tank has a different bio load, corals, etc.
Because there was a large discussion a couple months ago when Triton came out - and many have gone to 'no water change systems' - I thought it might be interesting to revisit the question now that people have more experience.
In the comments - please add the 'reason' - for your choice.
Note - its assumed that the 'Triton method' already uses 'algae' - so you dont need to check that twice
