Thanks for the compliments! This is a "new" tank, after not having a reef tank for 20 years. Taking it slow now will be easy. Lessons learned are like bridges burned....All of the advancements in the hobby and the improvements in equipment can't replace paying attention to the water parameters and making sure you tank is ready. 20 years ago we always said, "We weren't taking care of an aquarium, we were taking care of a water tank."
