No hobbyist and no tank ever outgrows the need for testing. That is the pathway to problems. You certainly do not need to test every tank every day - that is compulsion. But periodic checks are cheap insurance. Long term tanks (as all puffer tanks should be) can and do "drift" into less-than-healty conditions.

Update on Wilmas fin
She's been just fine since the outbreak of finrot was repelled
Water parameters keeping steady and i still swap round 30-35% a week.
Debris from feeding are picked up (and given to the crayfish) and the poop are scooped and flushed
She has even regenerated 2-3mm of the fin, looks like the same portion of fin that rottet away!
Amazing recovery i think and just by waterchanges and happylife filtermedium.
The structural change that took place is still visible but i think its going to fade away over time.
I now have medicine in the house, mela and pimafix, esha2000 and will resupply before they get too old.
Was quite a scare i had there and yes, never stop checking your waterparameters, i do it 2-3 times a month.
Thanks for advice and assistance to you all
