Just curious,
90 gallon, CO2 injected, 2WPG.
Our water has about 180ppm total hardness. I'm down to a 20% water change once every two weeks, weekly testing/dosing of NO3 and PO4, and weekly dosing of K+ and traces. Big prune once a month or longer.
I refuse to bother with Ca and Mg testing or dosing. For a tank where I just want green plants with no special needs, can I just put a chunk of limestone in the sump and be done with it? Would that also address most traces? I'm trying to lengthen the time between -any- maintenance efforts.
TIA
