What are your Ca & Mag levels at? You need to find the balance.

Happy with an overwhelming sense of "Why the hell didn't I get the 120 instead of the 90"

I said sad but I guess concerned would be a better description for me. Having been on maintenance phase with my tank for the last 10 months or so I haven't paid the tank as much special attention. Colonies have gotten closer and closer and started to fight. All of the little extra things I did before to get the tank 5 % better I have let go by the wayside. My recent frag sale has gotten me to spend more time working on the tank and trying to make some improvements. I'm not sad overall on my tank just at my level of attention for awhile.

my feelings are cyclical in inverse with the stock market. ie wish I didn't blow my discretionary spending on aquarium junk when the market is good, and glad I didn't blow my discretionary spending on long shot stocks (but on aquariums instead) when the stocks suck.

After many years of frustration, death of corals (SPS) and lots of $$$ trying everything from snake oil to proven techniques, I can finally say I am happy and love to show it off!
