so how sensitive are our systems really?

[reefwars]

in the grand scheme of things they are pretty hardy.

i always see post that the salinity at 1.028 is what crashed the tank ....... temp raised to 81 from 78 killed all my corals..... or tap water is why my corals are brown or rtn'ing.....

temps drop during shipping and packaging, corals bounce around in bags and man handled to pack, salinity rasies or is dropped , ph fluctuates and fish pee themselves stupid...........yet they seem to survive this.

corals left out of water for hours during fragging , water changes.

im sure every reefer here has hit a high temp , high salinity , used tap water , old salt , expired test kits etc etc etc.

if i had a dollar for every temp spike i had im sure i could take the day off work lol

so lets here it , how sensitive is your system to small changes that doesnt seem to bother others systems or newer ones?

me i do large cold water changes , tap water without conditioner ( i know right ) i over feed, over stock and occasionally overdose and yet still my tank is healthier than its ever been.

maybe its the need to find an answer to a problem that has no obvious cause?


so what risky business do you do to your tank that the system doesnt ssem to mind?


cheers
