Hello there.

I want to be open today. I have a struggle in reef keeping: my indecisiveness and inability to stay with my decisions.

Here’s how it plays out in my tank: I find something I want to change, next, research it to death, after go back and fourth between my options, I make a decision, and usually, doubt my choice.

Some actual examples:

Switching from LED’s to T5. I was never able to decide on an LED color. Kept changing it daily (literally). In my case, T5’s were a godsend because it make me happy with a choice and it was done. But it took a long time of researching to switch to LED’s.

Next: my aquascape: I wanted minimal, members suggested that I need more rocks. Added rocks. Not happy.

Here’s a good one: deciding on my QT method. Hybrid TTM; Copper, metro, and prazi; Copper formalin; and more. I went back and fourth.


I know that every reefer has their own struggles — this is mine.

I kindly thank the members for reading my many threads and even taking time to answer me.

Happy reefing.

Keep in mind stability is key. The more stable and Undisturbed the tank is, the more successful the outcome.
