Re: [APD] pH shock
Lots in the archives on this subject -- especially good
stuff by Tom Barr.
It's possible to run tanks with almost no water changes, at
least not for months. But that works much better with slow
grow tanks than faster ones.
The sort version fo the story is, for most aquaria, the
water changes over time water changes minimize those
changes. And there's only so much that it's practical or
convenient to test for. I think for many cases, water
changes are easier, cheaper and faster than a lot of
testing.
