How many of you have said or thought this? "I can't wait for this reef to mature!" How many of you are still waiting years later? Sometimes it manures instead of matures. HA!
I started thinking about this statement and question and it got me wondering what the definition of a "mature" reef tank is. Does mature mean corals are growing out of the water and you have to prune them every week? Or is it mature when you can keep acropora successfully? Or is your tank mature when you can grow coralline, or keep clams, or house mandarins? What is it!!
What do you consider a "mature" reef tank to be?
