But really, do you get to sit and watch your tank at all? The stress I've read about the last few days would make me sell my tank. Reminds me of the pH meter episode of 2004...
Try this for 6 months. buy the RBS salt. Mix it to 1.026 and the proper temp, and change 25g every other week. Buy a case of beer or a bottle of your favorite beverage, pull up a chair, and just chill in front of the tank for a while. Enjoy the drink. Let the sounds put you to sleep.
Do not test stuff. Lock your kits away and just enjoy the tank. Add a coral here or there. Watch the snails crawl around. Do.Not.Test. This is supposed to be relaxing.... |

Thanks guys, and for the acknowledgment Brad that you've been following
and remembering all my trials and tribulations
It's always nice to have some input that tells me to JUST SLOW DOWN and try enjoy it
I'm going to go with Brad's and jorjef's advice for a different kind of salt
The only thing I will do is test once every new bucket and I will test my tank
once in awhile to see that there is some semblance of balance going on
And you're right about enjoying it ..
I've been spending far too much time messing around and nowhere near enough just staring ...
