>I don't want to give beginners ideas, since this is experimentation
>and can easily lead to a disastrous tank if you don't know how to look
>for and resolve tank problems...
>
>Who's had a successful long-term setup (approaching a year or more) with
>minimal and/or infrequent water changes (<10%/month or so on average). If
>you had one for less, what caused you to return to frequent water changes?
>
>I'd like to know a little bit about your setups, the plants that do best
>in your setups, and compromises you had to make to make the tanks run
>smoothly. Was there a breaking point when you had to do a large water
>change? What was the top-off or water change rate? Any fertilizers?
>What is your top-off water make-up? Any useful anecdotes?
>
>I've been inadvertently just topping-off over 4 months now and my plants
>are still doing great, though growing slower than at first. I turned
>off my CO2 injection 3 months ago, and my light levels are around 2
>Watts/gal, with morning light hitting the clear back side of the tank
>and ambient sky the rest of the day. I've got a light fish load, soil
>w/ Jobes pieces deep under the gravel, no filtration, one powerhead
>circulating the water in my 45 gal breeder. I've got my nutrients ready
>in case I notice any deficiencies, but I've only had to dose once for
>potassium early after my tank settled in. My water is still pretty clear,
>though it's definitely yellowed some since my last real water change.
>
>I'd like to keep running in this ultra-low-maintenance mode, but I'd like
>to get some pointers from those who've been here before. I'm looking for
>ballpark numbers on the amount of time it takes for high concentrations of
>toxic chemicals to build up and possible correlations between plant species
>used and the prevention of this build-up.
