w/c also about 1/wk. they prefer it quite clean.

yes part of the fun of keeping louhan is learning what your fish responds to, like uncle kaoluo said each has it's own preference

i typically maintain 0. i only add salt 1tbsp/5g every 3-4 months. otherwise i prefer maintain 0 salinity. i believe there is stronger effect when used less frequently.

i also using CC's almost 3 years now and pH still stable about 7.6 or so. but i try to clean off dirt regularly and use large aggregate size so still breaking down slowly for me.
other systems i also used baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to bring up and stabilize pH. careful if using sodium carbonate as it can bring pH up much higher.
