Yea I don't clean mine very often unless its my heavily stocked neos and then that is only if it really needs it. The less hardy the species is I tend to stay out of the tank more, I even match the temp on my pure RO and drip the top offs in. Parameters never change

umm this is something great to learn here. I clean my sponge 1-2 for every month, but only clean my HOB once per month. When I clean ... I just do a quick clean, not super deep clean for both type and of course even clean every month it's still dirty ...

Myself don't really do drip for top off pure RO. I just put it in slowly by a small cup because I top off every week, and each time not alot of water .. like about 1 gallon or less. I do change 10%-15% water once per month.

My cardinals like the higher temps even with a great lid, evaportation through where the filter comes in is enough to have to do it more often then I would like to.
