I don't believe in OTS, IMHO I believe it's a neglected tank. As the tank becomes well established over the years you tend to become laxed in your husbandry skills in time that will cause problems.

I went thru a period of about 5 months with only one water change and even though everything looked good, I decided I wasn't going to chance it because it was becoming difficult to measure accurately the trace elements, so I decided to start doing them again maybe on a biweekly schedule.
