Question
read your q and a regularly
have a 72 gallon reef tank tank seems to be doing well
my question is my water parameters are good have not done a water change 3 months except for top off is my tank going to crash eventually

Answer
Hi Andre,

I fear it will.  I tried it once, myself just to see if the experts were right.  Around the three month timeline, my tank did crash.

Are you testing your water parameters constantly?

As a reef tank, do you have fish?  I did have fish in my system.  3 of them.

Happy fish-keeping.
