My new 38 Gallon tank.

If you have the money, you could invest in one of those "no water change systems." I still don't know exactly how it works...
I am considering this system for my 38 (thanks KB - it'll be your fault)
Check out the thread in the equipment section for more info on the system.

The system doesn't look like it is anything other then a glorified UGF (which I hate) paired with an HOB filter that has Nitrate absorbing bags inserted into it.
The nitrate absorbing bag is kinda cool, but to say this is a water change-less system doesn't take into account the need to vacuum gravel.
I'm all for not changing tank water. It's a pain even when you have a Python, but I don't see this system giving anyone anything but a disapointment.
Just note: you can already go without changing water by setting up a densely planted tank, and only keeping a few fish. With enough plants, and few fish the nitrate levels will be kept in check.

Yea Jedi. It may be just that which means I am not putting it in unless the system is free from Hi Q and I blog about it...so since that isnt likely... welll... i am not into UGF's.
As for a planted tank with low stocking.. well I have considered the plants for challenge and aiding with nitrates but I think we know that only a few fish isnt likely in a TAL tanky wanky.

I think the towers are supposed to support the nitrifying bacteria that uses nitrate. To the best of my knowledge there is only one other source of equipment that does this.
Nitrate Reductor
From what I understand keeping them alive is a PITA.
