I've been considering setting up a continuous water change system on my 80 gallon. Right now I'm changing 30 gallons weekly and sometimes twice a week.
I'm using remineralized ro water that is stored in a self filling storage tank under the stand of my tank. Right now my water changes are very simple to do but it seems agressive.
I have an extensive reef background and my last tank was fully automated besides glass cleaning and feeding.
I was using a Spectepure Litermeter III and remote pump to pump clean premixed saltwater in the tank and pump dirty tank water to the drain.
Is there any reason I couldn't do the same thing with my freshwater planted tank but instead of saltwater use remineralized ro water premixed with ferts?
I could literally turn water changes to just adding the desired minerals and ferts to the reservoir and the rest would take care of itself.
Wouldn't this give me a lot more consistent water parameters and fert levels?
