Pretty spot on guys
The gha came back much less and in a different way. It’s no longer long.
Instead I went to my old skool methods and just tossed in a crap ton of trochus snails.
they’re keeping everything at bay and slowly coralline is taking over the rocks as the tank is maturing.
I’ve been away for 15 days on vacation and the video cam of the tank shows the snails molesting the rocks all day lol.
For me this reaffirms the logic that we need both herbivores and manual removal along with tank maturity
I’ll stilll take my rock out and drill brush the hell hot of them if I need to. I have zero shame in doing that. I’ve been doing that from time to time over the years until I couldn’t anymore due to corals completely encrusting the rock lol.
So I think both logics work in my opinion.
