Reason I ask is because I've done both, and simply doing a WC was far less expensive and time consuming than having to get all the extra equipment, chase numbers, etc. That, or just set up a calcium reactor, if your demand is heavy enough. Seems kind of silly to be chasing numbers when the natural concentration is .001ppm, or something like that, to begin with. The DSR (Dutch Synthetic Reef) system (the original name for dosing the minor trace elements with no water changes) indeed can work, I just didn't find it economical or a good use of time, or at least that was not my experience with it.

I really appreciate that perspective. The idea of knowing exactly and basing actions on hard evidence really appeals to me. I'm also a huge newbie and my tank is only 10 months old. But of course I'm upgrading. This time. It has a sump and is larger and not a nanotank so I'm sure will be completely different. My general philosophy is to be willing to change but base choices on evidence and optionality while leaning towards quality and time saving over saving money.

I use moonshiners, and chasing numbers can drive you crazy. I'm considering stopping, and going back to water changes, but making it basically automated. While I noticed a change in my acros with moonshiners, I think it was more of me paying closer attention to nitrates/phosphates, getting alge out of tank etc.....missing a week or 3 of moonshiners didn't seem to change anything.

I think they stopped those from abuse unfortunately. I saw two 5$ but where small frags of tck milli and a fox flame i think so doesn't really count as those crazy old tck specials.

Gotcha. I'm not sure what evidence the system is based off of other than just trying to reproduce natural parameters with a method alternative to water changes though. At the end of the day, coloration is very subjective and wildly varies from tank to tank, from month to month. It's also impossible to eliminate the other 1000 variables in your tank to say that changing one variable will for sure produce X result. It's just the nature of the hobby. Try to formulate overall trends from your own tank and variables, and go from there. I'm weary of absolute claims in this hobby.
