Should we be quick to intervene when something goes wrong?

[Gumbies R Us]

We all have heard it, take reefing slow. Slow to add coral, slow to add fish, slow to potentially fix issues. However, this is easier said then done. Fish has developed some form of disease, coral is starting to look sad, or a shipment of something you need for your tank is delayed. Should we start addressing these issues right away or slowly figure out what we should do? This can apply to anything!

Being quick has a tendency to cause more issues. I usually react a little too slow though so there really needs to be a happy medium. Go slow but don't wait too long.

Quickly if you know what to do.

But if its a knee jerk reaction and you're throwing the kitchen sink at it, it probably isn't going to end well.

For the bit of coral warfare I have experienced, I cannot act fast enough to save anything from RTN from a sting.
