Just one comment about my tank. It is no sewer, not even close. I have it
in my den and everyone that comes to my house and has a glass of Brandy with
me enjoys it and wants to have one of my filters.
Again, as soon as I upgrade the lighting system I will put pictures on my
website.
Lets see how far can I go with a water change. Eventually I will but not
before I make all my tests.

I do appreciate your comments. I don't know where you get your doubts
from. There are many here that debate the facts for a need to change your
water often.
I do have a friend that makes water changes every FOUR days,
sometimes every TWO days.

Let me guess - he has lots of corals, doesn't he ? :-)
Ask him what levels of nitrates and phosphates are in his tank
and compare with your readings.
Than think about the differences and make smart, educated conclusions...

Again, if you are going to make water changes this often,
you don't need all those gadgets in your tank.

Yes you do - without them you would have to change water every day :-)

Jaime, believe me - with 100mg/l of nitrates and 1mg/l of phosphates
your tank water is just sewer full of refuse.

We do not want to have sewer water in our reef tanks, and that
is the reason we *do* water changes... Do you understand, now ?
