| Re: theories of water changes. Maybe, maybe not. Before answering that question, we must first define the variables of the salt used, the filtration and what they actually do. Are you using a salt that is high in heavy metals, has an overabundance of major/minor trace elements? Do you have a tank full of corals that are absorbing most of these? Do you use a refugium and regularly trim/remove macro algae? Are you using a skimmer? Replacing carbon often? Using a media that adsorbs metals (such as a polyfilter)? Do the above really remove unwanted elements and to what degree?
IMO, If the amount of importation of elements is greater than the exportation, then, yes, an overload will eventually occur. |
