Morning All

One can read many contradictory things in this hobby. Which one makes you laugh and what does it prove?

You can’t use well water or tap water to top off a reef tank. It actually works just like RODI if you have a good well or municipal water supply.

Proves that most people live in the city and pay too much for their water.

Interestingly my old tank took off when I started using tap water. Nothing ever grew so fast…

What makes me laugh: manufacturer claims

What does it prove; not sure, but greed and ignorance seem likely

Too much green light causes green algae to grow vs science :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Redfield ratio.

What does it prove? The person supporting and recommending it doesn’t understand what they are talking about and is clueless when it comes to chemistry and our tanks

Ideal nitrate and phosphate levels, both relative and absolute.

That quarantining is a must to have any fish survive.

I’ve lost more fish in quarantine than since I chose to go the management way.
