No tests... ever.

Reefing blind never seems to end well. You can’t understand what’s really going on with the chemistry or prevent potential issues. Making informed decisions from data is a smart way to reef. Not the only way, but smart. You can never truly know where your Nutrients, pH, Alk, Cal, Mag, Salinity, etc.. is unless you test it. There are also trace elements that play very important role’s with overall growth and health not only with coral’s, but also the microfauna, bacteria, pods, and biodiversity as a whole. This hobby is very difficult as it is, why not take advantage of the resources we have today. Everything can increase your odds for success if used wisely and you’re calculated with how you do everything.

I knew it ...when the corals start to accumulate and you count the dollars and mostly the time invested, something comes over you, a strange feeling, then you inherently start testing and dont even realize it......
Thats good, tanks looking good! Might as well do some simple tests and keep it that way right? It doesn't mean you have to become a mad scientist and devote hours a week to it. Keep doing what your doing and add a few tests here and there to reassure your thoughts, keep moving forward...
Looking good! I'm Still following..

Does that not completely defeat the purpose of this thread/tank if the goal is to prove no testing?

No... purpose was never to not test, it's just something I haven't found necessary as of yet. Maybe soon ? Wouldn't mind new Hanna checkers on hand when such time comes...

I've added some stuff, I've removed some stuff... but it's going. That heatwave in southern California a few weeks back did a number on some of my acros. But we're slowly finding that sweetspot again.
i juat recently started to add some frags onto this one.
might add some clove polyp or zoa to start filling the in-betweens the favias.
the 1.5 pico in my moms room is looking alright...
