Not I. I only do water change because I don't dose or have reactor. For my little tank it's 5 gal a week

S'OK
For a minute there I thought you were drinking the salt and pouring the coffee into the tank - that would explain the dementia

Hmm ... I could be on to something here. It's a global conspiracy by salt manufacturers to keep us addicted

heres a test take one of your saltwater fish and drop it in freshwater....wait a minute or 2 if the fish doesnt die you dont need salt in your tank....right??

Just FYI since my refugium light died I've been doing weekly 30 gallon water changes for the past month. Got a long hose and pump.

I shut off the valve to my fuge, drain the water, refill with new water and re open valve.

Since starting these water changes my huge elegance has closed up

And it solved the aptasia problem with a copperband

See ? WCs are bad

All kidding aside Marko, your elegance will come around, it's just not used to the lower nutrients/higher params

elegance hate changes of anykind....consider yourself lucky it didnt catch ECS , elegance was once the hardiest and most common lps around....now its very hard to find a healthy one that doesnt wipe away from ECS.


ECS can kill an elegnace in days or months.


ECS= elegance coral syndrome

not necessarily, elegance do not heal well or take changes well, their recovery is usually long.
