EDIT: perhaps I should rephrase the question to "why are pwc needed?"
Hi,
First of all, I am no expert at all and am learning.
I'm wondering if pwc's are truly necessary if water tests continually remain acceptable and no activity raises the need like after using meds, etc.
Ever since I setup my tank I've been routinely having my water tested at Petsmart before and after pwc's every 4 to 5 days. The results always stay the same except for hardness and alkalinity but never at levels that raise concern (80 - 120). They use Jungle Lab's 6-in-1 and Ammonia.
For now I plan on raising the bar to every 2 weeks, but really, is it necessary?
Thanks
