wanted to add this nice statement to my reef keeping

"Careful neglect" is something more of us should do. Chasing numbers and tweaking chemistry is harder on corals than most of what we put them through. I've lost more colonies from running various forms of phosphate removers than I have from not testing at all. Meaning, I've never lost corals from high PO4 levels.

I recently started doing this with dosing. Every 2-3 days I'll check cal, alk and phos. I keep a small notebook that I write down the day, amount dosed and current levels.
