Personally, I do respect your time and knowledge. If you do post again on this subject, I will read what you have to say.

One question regarding carbon dosing - Considering an SPS dominated tank - In an established tank there is lots of naturally occurring food sources for coral to eat. This can also be supplemented by feeding various coral foods. However, in a newly established tank, many of the naturally occurring foods may not be present. Do you think it is risky to run any low nutrient system on a new tank?

+1. Thanks for your time, ans I will read it several times over, too.
Please elaborate on sps feeding. You mentioned amino acids, what about higher loads of fish waste, would that count as well? Keeping in mind that regular water changes and nutrient dilution is important as well. Thanks.
Please keep this up when you can. Most of us are still learning, and those others who know-it-all don't need to bother
