So now that ive got around the basics, I will try and explain the water chemistry and the %100 percent water changes. Basically there will be no testing of the water, just maintaining the salinity and temp. I think this is possible because I will have in theory no bioload, maybe some excess goop from the coral and maybe some higher phosphates. But I'll explain how this is going to balance out. The %100 percent water changes should in theory reset the system. 2 times a month I will drain at least 90 percent of the water 2 times a month. This will be achieved by mixing the water 2 days before and matching salinity and temp very closely. Again I may sound crazy but this is an experiment. If things go wrong all corals show distress they will be removed and put in my 120 display again.
