I don't think there is any question a reef tank with a fairly well balanced bio load and the right equipment can go along way to reduce the need for water changes.............I strive to maintain my tank the same way. My problem has always been catching and seeing a problem when a tank is slowly getting out of balance. Regular water changes are very cheap insurance.
