I'll be the first to agree you don't have to overdo waterchanges but at the same time all you have to do is a water change and look at your tank before and after to convince you a waterchange does your tank some good. It's like opening a window and letting fresh air in.

Does 10 gal's of ATO a day count on a 230 gal total system with a salinity of 1.020 count as WC?

Nope :p

But how do u know at what rate those elements deplete? U could be building up elements dosing with out w/c. You need to do the w/c to bring the buildup down that's all anyone has said to you. Us pro w/c'ers believe that w/c balance what we cannot test for

FragIt Dan
Can you elaborate on which elements you test and dose for?
Dosing "Non-conservative elements" is a contradiction in itself, you can't dose for something that by definition varies.
