So here's the thing. My nitrates are extremely low and always have been except for a spike right after the cycle. I am dosing calcium, dKH, and magnesium along with trace elements.
I have the equipment to run a continuous water change, but haven't set it up yet. That said, if my parameters are in line, is there really any need to do water changes? The only thing I've done was replace about 30 gallons in my 180 while doing some maintenance due to a problem with my ATO. That was a couple of months ago.
I'm thinking, if everything is reading positive then why mess things up with a water change?
