Sea hare was an important part.

As was the dsb and the LR to water ratio as well as the restricted bio load with omnivorous fish.

It was everything working together really....not just any one component.

This tank was built knowing it would be left to it's own devices for periods of time.

probably why I had better "luck" with my neglected tank.
