What “Reef Issues” have you MASTERED???

I like to think I have mastered stability in all my systems.
It is an ongoing effort though.
Keeping it simple helps.

I now realize that I actually cannot master cyanobacteria in my DT...... But I got to know someone who does!
It's my life-saving sand sifting gobby god bless his soul.
When I use RS NoPox to reduce N & P, it works, but I get cyano growth in return. But now cyano is only in the sump battling with my chaeto so I care much less about it

Often times it takes a while to learn something and learn it the hard way as well! That being said, We learn it!!!
So my thorn in the flesh was eliminating an invasive coral call Blue Clove Polyps. They ended up covering way too much of my rock work. With the help of some reef2reef rock stars who had gone through the same dilemma, I followed much of their advice and ultimately ridded my reef tank of these pests. Needless to say, this issue has been MASTERED!!!

1. What about your experience?

i don’t think i’ve ever “mastered” anything reef related! in fact, i’m a little afraid to even *say* mastered in public, for fear something bizarre i’ve never heard of before would immediately manifest in my tank. better safe than sorry - imma stay a striving rank amateur!

I'd say after 30+ years it's still a work in progress. :/

My tank is a cult it masters me!

Have a good base of biology and chemistry, at least related to the hobby and have so-far had the ability to spot stupid ideas and trends early on. I wish that I was better at getting people to believe me early in the process - dry rock needing too much time and not being cheap in the long run, Vibrant not being bacteria come to mind.
