so you had dinos and a tank crash that killed everything... how is that not supporting my statement?Well before dinos and my fish dying I had 2 blenny, 2 clown, 2 firefish lots of coral. I always have my hands in the tank and try to take out leftover food. When my tank crashed there were so many dead detritus worms so that may be a factor as well
again, i am not saying it is impossible with basic equipment, just more work.
(not trying to pick a fight here.. really.. just trying to support that there are various ways to keep a tank going, many work, but some are definitely preferred).
