Thanks Everyone!
Shelps, the boat is more fun, but definitely not cheaper. The typo in my last paragraph is strangely appropriate, but should read "but it's time to moron to new things" $1800 for new portlights this month, and hopefully thats the last of the expensive "deferred maintenance" projects.

I doubled my CA/ALK dosage on the doser after reading that! Absolutely stunning looking tank Rob, sad to see it get torn down. Out of curiosity why such a large difference in the concentrations of your CA/ ALK dosages?

Great to see you finally featured Rob! Your system is so much better designed than mine!
I'm pretty happy for you getting the boat too. You've been talking about doing that and shutting down the tank for years. Its hard to believe its actually happening.

There are many reef keeping "philosophies", and many different approaches seem to work, but I believe it's important to keep it simple. I only put something in my tank if I know what it is. I don't like "secret formulas", IMO you don't need them, and I enjoy the satisfaction of figuring things out myself. The most important thing is luck... so many things can go wrong that are completely beyond our control!
