In reefing, their is a lot of things we can stress/worry about. Prices of coral, dosing woes, getting shocked, maybe a fish biting us. Some of these concerns are legit concerns to have, while others might be exaggerated a little. Is there something reefers worry too much about?

This is a worry I have! Considering I have shorted out a power supply and caused a GFCI unit to trip before!

I agree. Almost all things we measure are acceptable in a wider range than many people assume.
 
Reefers sometimes worry too much about trying to get the “perfect” light spectrum.
That's one that I have been concerned about in the past. I always felt like I was fiddling with my light, trying to get it perfect
