The successful SPS tank

[Pike]

Boring as in less things to research about and discover, at least for me thats a big positive in the hobby. And its a money pit hobby so yeah throw in another barrel of money if you want those colours

personally i think one should get decent colours with a simple approach before experimenting with their wallet too much. if you can't get ok colouration with a simpler approach i don't think adding a ton of supplements etc is going to get you there.
