Correct me if I'm wrong.

These are the only ways to get rid of nitrates:
water changes
some macroalgaes
live rock with anaerobic bacteria that "sucks" it out

So, if you have tons of live rock and your cycle is working, why would you need to do a water change? Wouldn't the levels all stay near zero?

PS, I'm getting pretty close to buying all my liverock. My birthday is August 6 and I am going to maybe buy it for myself as a present. I keep looking at the tampabayliverock and I think it is a great price for a great product. Plus I can maybe take a trip to Busch Gardens and then get the rock on my way back. No shipping!
