its necessary to replace macro elements that are used by the zeolites, bak, etc. i find not as much to keep kh and ca up either using the KZ salt.
before i was using zeo i would do a 10%wc everyweek, or even twice a week depending on issues that would arise.
now with zeo the past 5months, i have been doing 5% wc every two weeks.
i was hesiante at first to stop the weekly water change, but after 2 weeks i noticed a difference all around the tank, by holding off the wc.
