That explains why you have no nitrates!
Oh, I may have to start that!!!
I mix 2 gallons at a time in my Red Fish Bucket, let it sit for a while (half a day generally) then test for ph, and sg. That's a once a week water change. Lately I've been doing 4 gallons. Was using IO, got Reef Crystals by mistake and actually like it better.
Right now I've bought gallons and gallons of distilled from the store b/c I can't figure out why my RO/DI isn't working. I have a few weeks' worth of water changes in my tank with crappy tap water!!!

Bunny and Bunnina have worked things out.
Bunny was mistaken after all, Bunnina was not having an affair.
