I agree. But this then suggests you think the water in the tank is of lesser quality?
I'm certain of the fact that changing water does no harm (with exceptions of course) and I notice the tank does better than any previous tank I've had where I did less frequent changes, so for me, it's the most important thing I do.

A big part of zeo success is weekly water changes I thought. I have been doing zeo and ballin and still doing 100 gallons a week. The way I look at it is I don't want to sit in the same bathtub for months

Nothing beats a nice water change; tank feels so fresh

Hmmm, but I might sit in the same bath water if it was constantly circulating through a waste treatment center, filtered and then heated and put back into my tub.
