A fellow employee and I have this conversation at work numerous times. He is anal with his water changes( almost weekly) and I on the other hand what you call lazy( i'm not though). I've tried doing weekly changes and i've noticed in my tank that my coral grow better when I do change evey 2-3 months. Before every one goes crazy tell me all the reasons for doing more frequent changes I know them all. I work in a lfs, I hear them every day. I rarely have any mishappening but i'm not perfect. I've been doing this for 5-6 years now. Wondering if there was anyone at there that does the same but was too afraid to admit because of ridiculing people. I tell customers when they venture into reef tanks or even saltwater tanks for the first time, " a fish tank is a hobby not a picture on a wall, if you want a beautiful picture buy a picture but if you want a piece living art buy a fish tank." There is nothing worse than a unkept tank.
