Drip system and water changes

[skynoch]

I was reading a reply by john c and I was wondering who out there runs a drip system and will still do large water changes once in awhile?
My rays seem to enjoy the big water change once in awhile. There more active and eat way better if I do not to mention the breeding activity kicks up a notch. My nitrates are under 20ppm all the time with the drip so the water change over is sufficient. Anybody else experience anyting similar

The only time I'll do a water change is if I need to do a gravel vac.
