Well, Boomer is always talking about stuff I don't understand but I still love him for it. Your comments make an interesting point in relation to the article, in that . . . . I know of closed systems where there has not been a water change done for over 2 years. This is at a LFS with a heavily stocked tank (SPS and fish) . . . and he counterbalances the water changes with the addition of additives . . . . not the way I'd like to run a system but it works for him.
