Tank talk: Fish and corals can tell us what's wrong. So fish won't just disappear and corals won't stn or lose tentacles while others in the tank are flourishing. But in the real world a reliable automatic water changer will work.

At the moment since I don't have a tank set up yet and not sure of how difficult it will be, I know it has been difficult planning and deciding for the build. At times I felt overwhelmed doing this all alone and sometimes I wished for just someone to tell me what to do to make it easier.
I converse with my fish all the time.

I think reveled in. I try to read up on what ever technical issue I'm having, and how to avoid/fix it. Often helps me down the the road with other issues.
Lights, filtration, lids. As you progress in the hobby and your knowledge expands, you realize how much better these thing could be, or how to optimize them.
The learning curve. Somethings, you just won't learn until you deal with it, or go through it. Just no way to learn until it happens
Being able to check the chemistry over everything in the water
Definitely lights is one of the most necessary things if you want your corals to thrive. Buying a good light from the beginning will result in better growth and more success.
I feared the technical aspect of it in the beginning but I took on the challenge and its become so easy. I try not to chase numbers and focus on how I can fix the problem and not let things occur again.

Water changes I know it’s been done already but that’s what I’d like
Okay, I'm game. I was reading another post regarding setting up a UV with two pumps, selecting through valves whether to run it at high flow or low. Would it not be possible (or beneficial) to run the UV with a dedicated programmable flow adjustable pump, running high flow during the daylight hours for algae control and low flow at night for protozoans when they are more active? Let's hear your thoughts.

I like it! I wonder if you could do a scientific research study on this? I bet you could get some sponsors to provide the equipment?
Set up 4 aquariums - 1 control with no UV, 1 with a steady always on flow, 1 with an adjustable flow slowed down for night hours, and 1 slowed down for daylight hours?
Convincing the wife for more tanks
I can see it now Smart Valves that close an open and connect your to your controller. This would be a good experiment though!
Haven't had one I a few days. Also. Automatic posts may not send a notification, so it's a good idea to check back in occasionally.
