that's how i felt until recently, which is why i didnt do a WC for 6 months.. i would only top off, and clean glass with magnet cleaner..
then an opportunity to sell it came along, and i decided that i couldnt let go of something i put so much energy and work into.
and there's where my renewed interst comes in.
23-30 nitrates is completely fine, You dont really have SPS so your fine with that. Tanks looking pretty good for 6months no water change a little GHA i see but thats fine at least i think i saw some. Everything looks good tho bud.

Rob&Gab, def had an issue with GHA, but that has slowly been going away, the GHA is now 1/5 of what it was 2 months ago.

We must remember not everyone agrees with what a tank looks like when it is in the owners opinion of "doing/looking great"
Your great mite be others nightmare, just saying.
Nothing wrong with that its just peoples taste vary and if your happy with it thats the most important thing
still would like to see pics.

I would never tell anyone to go against what they believe is right. If you want to change your water every week giddy up.
There was a post a few months ago regarding water changes and in jest i said i wasnt going to change mine anymore. Unless i see something very wrong im going to keep my water column as is for the next three months. I'll monitor it as usual, take readings, etc. I'll post something in 3 months with readings to see if anything changes. I'll take pics tonight of corals as well.
I read a post from another member, can't recall whom - heck it might of been another site, who said there was always a natural cure for a problem in a system. You just have to find out what it is. You have flat worms? Get a nudi and a six line. You have aiptasia get peppermint shrimp. I wonder, what miracles does so called "dirty" water hold?
.....thinking about it logically i bet old/dirty water is rich with nutrients and thats why we all saw extreme growth.

I neglected my tank in some ways, in others not..I always kept my feeding up...
I had 4 fish (2 clowns and 2 damsels) for a very long time and only fed once every 2 weeks. Now that I have 9 fish.. I feed one cube of mysis shrimp twice a week, this has been the routine for the past couple of months.
the entire time my tank has been up, i have only had 1 fish die on me. Flame angel, died the very next day after i got it from Maximum Reef, this was before i stopped doing weekly WC. I think i didnt acclimate properly.
