It's a cool little tool that can tell you how much water to drop to substitute a water change. The more the merrier as long as temp can be regulated, but for many it could be the thing you need to avoid water changes.

Did you mean gpd? 100 gph would be more than a drip LOL.
I have about a 300 gal system. I do roughly the same, I have a 6 stage RO/DI unit running with an upgraded 150 gpd membrane in it. Almost wide open with a booster pump on it.
The reason I use the 6 stage is because I am on a well, and it has free ammonia, with a high phosphate and nitrate content. The booster pump is needed because the well pressure is not the greatest, and its easier on the filters.
I add seashells to my sump to stabilize the pH. As they break down, I add more. I haven't needed to do an actual water change in a couple years. With the exception of cleaning out my sump. All I do there is siphon out the sediment and let the drip fill it back up over the next few hours.
Haha yes I ment gpd not gph. I am lucky I have no amonia in my well water honestly I have never checked my phosphates next test kit I buy will be a full test kit. I clean my sump for the first time after a year of running and I will not let it go that long again I could not believe how much sedement was in there also my bio balls where disgustingly dirty
I usually clean my sumps every 3-6 months depending on stock..... I was thinking about getting one of the bigger gpd drops and splitting it into 2 of my systems
