Thanks to @jfoahs04 for the QOTD idea!
We hear the term "mature reef" thrown around a lot within reefing discussion and it seems that the maturity level of your tank is a level in which good or bad things happen. What types of livestock you can keep, whether or not you have to keep fighting algae, etc. But what makes a tank mature and how do you know when you get there? Let's talk about it!
1. What does having a mature reef tank mean and how long does it take?
2. Would you consider your tank to be a mature reef, why and why not?
