Hey Jeff! I started reefing back in 2020 and I used to watch your videos all the time, I stopped watching many TH-cam videos and growing my builds because I got comfortable with my tank but I recently got bit by the bug again and I’m full force into it like I was at the beginning, it’s good to see you’re still going strong man! Love your videos and I’m glad to be here again
I decided to test tonight because I haven’t tested all my parameters in a while (daily alk, salinity, and temperature). Found out my magnesium was all the way down to 1260ppm when it used to run at 1350ppm.
I bought every test kit my lfs had and for the first 6 months my life was hell and everything died one by one. I gave up and havent tested one single thing for the last 6 months and my tank is looking awesome now.
If you have been in this hobby for any amount of time you know that all reef tanks are not perfect. They all require a lot of work. Testing and having a maintenance planned based off what you find is important for continuous success. Making assumptions with what you FEEL is going on with your tank is not. Which was the point I was trying to make with the video.

Key thing is here in my opinion is stability. Stop chasing the numbers if corals feel good. Such as Ph, alkalinity, phosphate
