so how sensitive are our systems really?

I've had a long road of learning. Made and make all the numbers mistakes and had red bug and aefw. Now my tank is pest free and stable I'm going to try don't buy anything and leave the tank alone approach. And so far so good I have pieces coloring up in the last week.

i use to never do water changes, didnt run zeo, rarely tested the water, dosed with a splash of this and splash of that. and the 180 gallon tank i had did amazingly.


Now i have a 70 gallon tank, weekly water changes, running zeovit, testing water every few days, precisely dosing everything. and nothing but problems. UGH

I've been away two weeks and have a tank sitter that is only responsible for feeding my fish. I've got a dendro colony that hasn't been fed for this whole time. I changed GFO and carbon before I left. Asked her to dose A and B daily but who knows if she did or not. Tank is a year and a half old and params have stabled off since April. I'll find out firsthand how stable and durable tanks can be lol

I went 2 months without a water change had no issues at all everything grew as soon as I got back onto regular 2 week water change had 2 coral up and die. I find the less I do with my tank the better it runs the second I start making changes I start losing coral

Not leaving it alone? When I forget about that space in my house it seems to thrive.
I think humans are the cause of tank crashs... I over react and seem to do more damage.
