The one by CptSweetCheeksjr? That one isn't too bad.
This one might make some of you blow a gasket... Especially the 2nd main story down...

I like the OP that states " I don't test for anything. After 8 years in the hobby I know what's happening by looking at the inhabitants in the tank." A little big for your britches aren't we? I think even 8 years in the hobby isn't long enough. Yep, had to stop reading these posts. It was making my skin crawl.

Has to do with the TDS building up, in a open system live a lake water is constantly exchanged through the hydrologic cycle. In and aquarium it's the same water that's being filtered,

There are minerals and elements believed to be taken from the water in order to support life that do not get replenished (well not easily because little is known about what is taken out and how much) without adding more water in.
Also I hate the one about the smell of nitrates. That is really dumb.
Thank you. I've pondered this question quite a bit and figured it came down to the chemistry.

I was in the LFS a one day and a lady told the associate the last time she changed the water in her SW tank was 3 YEARS ago.

I didn't mean to condemn fish in cycling (i do it to depending on the tank), I was merely condemning it when using fish that are incredibly overstocked. I understand fish in cycling using danios or other small fish in a 10 gallon but it is ridiculous to fish in cycle 3 medium size goldfish in the same size tank.
