If you remove plant mass when you trim you should be able to get away with no water changes.
In a fish only tank I change about 10% water daily as I don't have filtration. Thats my method of removing waste.

i will continue the routine of 30% water change weekly in addition will have to top up the aquariums daily because the water reduces by .5 inch daily now a days due to fans. This method worked for me last year and i hope will work this year also

Daily water top ups, AC running from 11:00 Am to 6:00 Pm. Running fans on 8 tanks and then doing water top ups on all with RO will be too much time consuming. This way I have to do top up every alternate days for the nano tanks and twice weekly for the larger ones. All tanks usually end with water changes during top ups.

This is the first month and second week of its running. Running the AC from 11 Am to 7 Pm on 30 deg and its keeping the tanks at about 24-25 deg. Total tanks 10 in number. Ranging from 4 footers to 10 inch cubes
