Yes I would, I was having some aglea break outs and I tested and Phosphates was the the cause. My RO/DI filters needed replacement, they expired early than normal. Now I have an inline TDS installed so that will not happen again I HATE AGLEA!!!
BTW salt is not the only thing that does not evap, all the other junk that comes from non filtered(tap water) or poorly filtered water(expired filters in RO/DI units) stays in your tank and will build up over time and could cause a crash and you could lose everything in your tank. Not a risk I willing to take. Not doing water changes in our VERY SMALL systems compared to the ocean is plain foolish. I mean God himself changes his tank (the ocean) daily! So does the "Sea Worlds" has a daily water change over system installed in their tanks. UMMMM do they know somthing we don't UMMM think about it. If your not willing to do what it takes to care for your animals DON'T get them!
