Below you will find all the essential information about the NWC “No Water Change” protocol—a tailor-made complementary dosing method to help you easily achieve perfect chemical stability in your aquarium.
The NWC protocol supplements standard reef aquarium dosing routines like KH and calcium, which can be maintained using various methods. Today, most aquarists use Balling or similar techniques to maintain optimal levels of these two essential parameters.
While these methods often include trace elements, such “cocktails” are rarely well-matched to each aquarium’s specific consumption. Regular water changes, though limited in effectiveness, are often recommended to attempt a relative balance, yet they fail to prevent significant imbalances and deficiencies in many essential trace elements.
The NWC protocol solves this common issue by allowing you to calculate and dose all of these elements precisely and daily, achieving perfectly stable seawater composition. These calculations are based on regular ICP test results and fully personalized to your aquarium.
