Agreed. 95% of my freshwater tank issues are resolved with clean water. But that being said salt and fresh couldn’t be more different to me.I've been there and done it all with water issues. My one tip: invest in a glass hydrometer for salinity (not yeast, or alcohol.) Get a Tropic Marin hydrometer. If you can't , you can pick up a mini glass knockoff (again, for salinity, and not alcohol) off of Amazon quite cheaply, and they're pretty accurate (but should still be checked, in case you got a dud). Why? It's the only type of instrument which measures salinity that never has to be calibrated. Everything else, including electronic checkers, drifts. The one con: they're usually big and awkward to use.
Salinity issues caused at least 90% of my problems when I started my builds.
Stability is true in both but getting the right salinity and elements are tricky for me right now. I know it will get easier.
Corals are a beautiful thing to behold. I want all of them but I get it now, they are not plants that just need a flourish tab shoved under their roots.
They are amazing little creatures that have stolen my heart. I know you reefers feel it too.
I want it all and I want it now”
