Hello fellow reefers. I have a quick question. I recently built a 60 gallon shallow reef tank and was wondering what is the longest time i can go without water change? Tank has been running for about 3 months now and water parameters are in par. Not being lazy just wondering. I was just thinking 10% wc per week is too much if the phos and nitrates are undetectable.
List of equipment I use

15% sps, 50% lps, 35% softies
10 small fishes

Trigger Reservoir
Radion xr30 gen3 pro
2 hipagero supplementary lights for softies

Aqua medic dosing pump evo4 “offline atm”
Water parameters
