I haven't done a single water change since start-up in early December. My plan is to go with the Triton Method, and the main reason for this is that I hate water changes ! The only reason for water changes is to replace elements that have been used up. If you are replenishing those elements with Dosing, then there is no need for water changes. When you think about it, you're adding 30-40 litres of fresh water (RO water) per week anyway with the top-up. The salt level stays the same, and the Dosing replaces the elements that have been used up! No need for major water changes.
I'm only going to do water changes now because I've fed so much crap into the tank from the poor RO water and the best way to clear it out is with some water changes. Hopefully this will be the only time I have to do this. I will do a few water changes over the weekend, and then next week I'll send a water sample off for an ICP test to at least get an baseline/indication of my water quality, and go from there.
I have opened the box of the NYOS 160 and gently stroked it
Mmm on the water changes never thought of that - learning all the time!
Oh and stop teasing me on the NYOS - send me a picture once you have installed it - in the tank that is!
