No you are not the only one.If You don't overstock too bad and do wkly 40% or better water changes,I see no need to check them.

I'd say if you don't know you're water parameters then check them, but like fishluvr says, as long as you do normal routine water changes. No real worries!

I feel that once you establish a regular routine... and that routine works... then you have no real reason to constantly test to make sure it's still working...

If nothing changes, nothing changes...

My test kit likes to collect dust on the top. Unless you see a sudden change with your water quality, or with your fish, There's really no need to. Always a good thing to have just incase though.

Every other week. It may not be "necessary" by some people's standards, but it's worked for me so far, so I'm not going to stop!
