Thanks for all the input everyone. Some great information here!
To clarify, when I said I wanted to eliminate the use of additives I meant additive designed to reduce unwanted nutrients like Zeo,Fauna,Vodka,Gfo, carbon etc.. There is a lot of stuff out there And I was just wondering if there was a way to simplify nutrient export to achieve a near ULNS. That's when the frequent water change came to mind.
It sounds like some have tried this without it making much of a difference though. Yes, cost would be higher but then people with larger systems need to spend this type of coin on their "regular" water changes.
Aside from possibly nuking my beneficial bacteria it sounds like there isn't much that can go wrong here. As mentioned, I think stability is the key. Lots of small-medium water changes. I may try this out for a few months and see how it goes. I suspect in the end I will get sick and tired of all the water changes but I'm still curious to see the results.
