Many times the phrase, “Don’t tell me what to think, teach me how to think.” repeats itself in my mind and I don’t know where it came from.LOL… I don’t take anything anyone says negatively. I am here to learn. I find that most people who make blanket comments make them because they know what they’re talking about but they also know what they’re talking about because they’ve been doing this for x number of years. I mentor a lot of early stage scientists who are incredibly bright but make mistake after mistake after mistake not because they don’t understand the science but because they don’t have the experience to correct minor mistakes as they make them. We are all at different stages of this journey. And we all want beautiful reef tanks. I 100% believe yours should be the target range. Some day, when I’ve made more mistakes than the ones I’ve already made I will be able to self correct without nuking my tank. Till then, I’ll continue on this journey. Asking what appear to be silly questions. And learning a little along the way. I appreciate any wisdom I can get. One of mentors once told me that there is nothing like a naive question to make you realize that you need to slow down and break it all into tiny pieces. I do that constantly with everything. Including as I teach myself a little about how to run a tank!
