so how sensitive are our systems really?

i use to never do water changes, didnt run zeo, rarely tested the water, dosed with a splash of this and splash of that. and the 180 gallon tank i had did amazingly.


Now i have a 70 gallon tank, weekly water changes, running zeovit, testing water every few days, precisely dosing everything. and nothing but problems. UGH

I've been away two weeks and have a tank sitter that is only responsible for feeding my fish. I've got a dendro colony that hasn't been fed for this whole time. I changed GFO and carbon before I left. Asked her to dose A and B daily but who knows if she did or not. Tank is a year and a half old and params have stabled off since April. I'll find out firsthand how stable and durable tanks can be lol

I went 2 months without a water change had no issues at all everything grew as soon as I got back onto regular 2 week water change had 2 coral up and die. I find the less I do with my tank the better it runs the second I start making changes I start losing coral
