When I started I went to the fish store in the expensive town thinking that they cater to people who demand excellence.
Their initial advise cost me a few fish, and corals.
I at least knew enough to cycle the tank prior to walking in. They said the forums are to conservative. You don't have to QT. Corals will be fine. Just overfeed and the fish will fight off the ich. That valentini puffer will be fine with those shrimp you bought 4 weeks ago.
My window shades will keep the light out
In other words, every single reefing equipment and supplement manufacturer. ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious
One word can change bad advice to good advice! ;Woot
Sometimes it’s best to learn the hard way i.e. the expensive way.You can turn your skimmer off, skip some water changes, and feed more to increase nitrates/phosphates. The tank was green (algae was using nutrient). What resulted was a red tank, carpet of cyano..
I have since learned the invaluable skill of sifting through crap from LFS or whomever. Plenty of good advice from different sources, but always do additional research before implementing what the guy who works at the LFS told you. The advice might be fine, but after reading through many forums on the topic on R2R, it may turn out to be the opposite of what you ought to do.
Thankful for this site and it’s participants
I think that what we do should be 'based' on science. but each individual tank is an art - the art of choosing which fish, coral etc - though those are also based science. Alkalinity testing is based on science. Etc etc.
If what you are saying is that there is no 'cookbook' approach that leads to a successful reef 'all of the time' I agree. Most of that though is not the problem of the cookbook or the 'science' its the fault of the cook's (so to speak) interpretation.
