I visited one sps tank, 9 months no water change and a lot of sps and fishes are doing well and i bought a few frags. I am really tempted to try such setup.

Usual setup, calcium reactor + denitrator + cheato. No sand and big tank and sump but lots of space. SPS is growing healthily with nice polyps extension and colours. MH + T5s.

As long as you have a means of removing the nitrates you don't have to change water. Your regular top ups which you can't run away with can be used to replenish what's is lost.

Like what Bro mengyang neo point out, is more then just reducing nutrient, it also replace the element and other stuff used up by the coral.

So water change do help

Good evening. May I re-confirm that if I use nsw for my water change and I do it every 2-3 week once(50%) it's good for my lps even without any top up of vit or supplement? The most is smtm I'll top up with iwarna top up. My current set up: 6 x 2 x 2.5 with sump of 4 x 2 x 2. Deltec 702 Twin fr:sorb 4 and bio sphere Arnica chiller-26.5 6T5 x 80w(will be changing to zetlight in coming mth) Overflow:bacteria king + bio sphere Fishes:01 purple tang + 01 6line wrasse + 02damsel + mixture of Lps

I'm looking for the easiest and most economical way to keep lps. I tried salt mix before and find it very tedious especially for my tank size. I tried dosing supplements and various kind of addictives and do water parameter test but after awhile find it not practical + lazy.I even tried refugium but after awhile too find it very messy and the electric bill keeps going higher(haven't even mention the heat from light) So back to my first question , if I do nsw change often will it be gd enough with sufficient lighting timing? Thanks in advance.

If you just keep lps water change using salt mix will be the best as you don't really need to dosing any element as lps consume lesser. Can use tap water and salt mix if you want the easy way out. NSW for singapore sea Ca, Mg, KH is very low and also salinty.

[ramonc]

I vote weekly... No skimmer, no sump...refuge 0nly!!!

[kohanson]

[vidextreme]

Hi bro, can I know what you use to treat your tap water. Seachem Prime?

[erikokelf]

Weekly for me. Main reason is to keep my sand bed clean but still struggling hard though.

[kenyee]

I just use any dechlorine agent..heard from a few reefers that no need 1 Coz SG tap water is consider quite clean le..but I still use it for ease of my heart..haha

I see. I use seachem prime as I currently using it for my FW tank. I believe need to use decholrinator as our tap water contains cholrine and Prime will remove the chlorine, chloramine and ammonia from the tap water. Just to be safe haha.
