RULES of REEFING

Myteemouse · Aug 25, 2010

We need a Official (unofficial) list of rules to reefing thread (maybe a sticky)
so we need lots of input and possibly a vote or poll..

for example
#2 suction cups will fail
#3 if you don't test for it don't add it..
and so on and so forth

Feel free to add anything you have learned

Let's keep it to actual reefing, as the original poster intended.

do it right the first time or you will be doing it again down the road. this applies to equipment etc..

If you test for it make sure your test is accurate before making changes
If you do make changes, go slow

Dont underestimate changes in water chemistry on corals!

Great idea!! We should have a check list for those who have coral or fish dying off, too! Everyone can add what they've experienced, maybe something someone wouldn't otherwise think to check!!

Don't leave home, something will go wrong when you're not there to fix it.

How bout
RESEARCH all live stock BEFORE you buy it.
AND
Buy the good lights and skimmer first not after you bought a cheaper one and realize you wasted time and money.

I think rule #1 should be a contest..
I could ask a few members here and we could pick the winner.
I could send the winner a 3 polyp frag of everlasting gobbstopper palys.
