Kryptonite: What's Your Reefing Weakness?

[Reefer Matt Verified Media Partner]

We all build strengths eventually. Sharing those strengths inspires others to pursue similar goals, but we rarely share our weakness. In reefing you eventually learn what you are good at, and not so good at. Even experts aren't great at everything.

With that said, what are your reefing shortfalls that you would like to strengthen?

For myself, I tend to struggle with Euphyllia and LPS in general. Also, I would like to study more on fish care.

Water changes.

I don’t dose anything at all and rely only on water changes. I know my corals would probably be growing faster and better if I could commit to at least one water change per month. Currently I probably do a 5 gallon water change about once every 6 months on my 65.

Phosphate control and SPS. Probably connected but I really struggle to keep phosphate where I want it. Nitrate I control with a refugium but doesn't seem to work for phosphate.

Fourth attempt at them going now... spread across 3 different tanks with 3 different alk targets

Bacto balance… I over feed my tank daily 3-4 times since I have so many fish and my po4 stays so low I have to dose it here or there to keep it from bottoming out.. no fuge and just a skimmer only.

Impulse buys are killing my bank account, even if I go to my lfs for frozen mysis I can’t leave without spending over $100!
