Allow me to start; reefing taught us all patience and that nothing good comes quickly.
Reefing also taught me that in order to reach and maintain your goal you need to keep working, every time I look at my tank and say oh wow it looks perfect and I think I reached my goal. I would encounter some sort of algael bloom or a parameter swing that would set me weeks or months back, simply because I thought that I am just too good.
I have a clown that would keep drawing blood out of my hands in my nano, once I upgraded the tank and moved him to the larger tank. He faced someone "of his own size"; my purple tang which would keep bullying him. This taught me to treat people the same way I would like them to treat me, because whatever you do to them good or bad someone, someday will do it to you.
I learnt to never compare my tank to others, every tank is unique, and to be grateful for what I have because the blessings that I have, others might not have them.
so what did reefing teach you?
