Allelopathy is natures chemical warfare 24/7/365There's going to be so many on both topics as everyone's ideas are different and thats whats great.
We where only ever going to be as great as the last guys greatest idea otherwise.
I follow quarantine threads although I've never quarantined but respect the folks that do as I've seen some of my best peers lose fish and its heartbreaking.
You nailed it bro I absoloutely am trying to simplify something here that many folks find overwhelming at best.
Not sure how my post #523 could have been any more simple and thats the way I intended.
The pros have passed parameters down to us for us to obtain successful reefs. Basic guidelines for us to achieve to the best of our ability and if and when we put forth the effort to keep our tanks as stable and close as possible to those numbers its almost impossible to fail. Any one of us that have ran a successful reef knows this to be true.
Me and you are almost 99.9% close on everything. And we are probably actually closer to 100% at the end of the day.
Only thing I will add to your statement above is. I have filled a tank full of thriving corals and watched what that can do across the surfaces of my tank.
I'm sticking to my guns when I say. You cover enough surfaces with the right stuff. The stuff our corals love. I have watched it out compete the bad stuff. Like algae. As well as bacteria.
@taricha touched on a super important key factor when he spoke about corals sliming surfaces. Ive watched it happen. And I watched my slimer keep cyano and dinos away from it on a brand new plastic surface. So it could encrust and grow. Ive seen certain species of shrooms do the same exact thing especially with coraline.
