I have to brag about it now, I have a 65gal with a minitank in series of
20 gal, total of 85gals on my system and haven't done a water change in a
year yet with 30 inches of livestock that is the envy of my neighbors
because of how good it looks in my favorite place.

No water changes in a yeah? Huh? Snicker.

I haven't done a water change over a year either. Most of these knuckle
heads in this NG are brain washed into thinking you have to do water
changes. The people who push it are LFS owners like Wayne. The more water
changes you do the more money he makes.

One of the very last times I did a water change, I screwed up my water
chemistry and killed half my fish. I stopped doing water changes and my
nitrites, ammonia and nitrates are all undetectable!
