30g - Long "Bikini Bottom" - invert dominant tank

[OEBlueTigerShrimp]

you cant keep adding "stuff" to the tank to try to obtain lower gh/kh...you have to replace the water... waste and what not does not go away by itself

my point was not that you should be adding things to the water, but rather people can maintain approximately consistent hardness over long periods of time given the right circumstances. I was not recommending people try it or expect it.

I think it was one not the other but I could be wrong, it's been awhile.

the IAL and stuff work but it's just short term till it waste away and the params creep back up. I am testing it out to see how long and to what extent it will work for but after it wears thin I figure it will be back to tap or close to tap params so they would have super slowly adjusted to it.

Water change is in fact the only way to go and to go all RO would mean to make water perfectly right every single time. That's too much work for me and would deter from the actual enjoyment of it all.

The Jakes veggie sticks + calcium really brings everyone out!
