What is something you should never do in reefing?

Drink skim mate.

I beg to differ, I had to try some in my Secret Santa skimmer mug!!

This is great advice! We one time thought our nitrates were zero so we added neonitrates to our tank. Come to find out they actually weren’t zero and we shot our nitrates up to 100 because of this.

I posted about this recently:

“DIY Treatments”.
I’m sad to report that I learnt about this the same way and more than once.

Always double check an unexpected test result. (If I just remember to retest!)

Don't panic when a problem arises and just start dumping chemicals in!

Don't try over dosing to try and get a quick fix, go by or below manufacture instructions and stretch it out.

Never quit. I’ve “stopped “ 2-3 times in my 15 years reefing. I always comeback and have to buy everything all over. Don’t quit because of any issues. It’s best to overcome and conquer! This hobby takes years to master.

Blaming the crabs for everything before looking at what else could have caused the problem.
Just because the emerald is picking at the coral doesn't mean it's eating the coral, it's probably eating the algae.

Rush.
