I perhaps didn't explain clearly. I just meant that the hardest part is being patient enough to wait until the tank is ready to support a heavy bio load before adding a lot of fish and coral.
For example I started my current tank about 1.5 years ago and I spent about 9 months getting all of the fish that I wanted. I was constantly battling some kind of algea or bacterial blooms. I then had my tank crash and every fish died. So my tank sat with only a few small coral frags and I didn't do anything with it for about 5 months because I was considering taking it down. We'll in the last few months everything started to look better in my tank, there is almost no algea and I suddenly had a surge in my number of micro fauna. I truly think that my tank is doing so much better because it matured a little bit more. Although it is sad having a 125 gallon tank with only one small clownfish, that I just added a week or so ago.
