The details matter. Every time a thread like this comes up somebody sees no water change and thinks that people just never, ever do them. Many have had bad things happen because of it. This can only be a good discussion if everything is on the money. It is SO much better to have a discussion that we don't do regular ones, but we will do them if XYZ is off by ABC, or the like - this is productive.
Heard a basement farmer on one of these threads say that they ship a few hundred gallons of water a month when sales are good. I will put a comment in the video asking how many gallons of saltwater that they have to replace via shipping - probably never get an answer.
The most important things in life can make a huge difference to get picky about. The top in anything are just a few percent better than the average people, but in many different ways. I get that some people don't care about nuance, but some do. Maybe we should not get picky... people can just ask Dr. @Randy Holmes-Farley about that element that the corals use - you know, THAT one... it is not important enough to get picky about.
I don't care if anybody wants to change limited water, or not. I just want the actual details and facts out there so that people can make good choices. I have seen too many make bad ones based on bad data and stuff.
