T Coach Ive followed your build its sharp tank control.
for critics:
I fully realize that the majority can get away with bio settling given time, agreed.
but working live time in other's tanks produces unique experience from working solely in one's own tank, and another hidden facet of pre rinsing may be the most important of them all considering that the majority really will be ok with no pre rinse: pre rinsing is the first breakaway from destructive groupthink that many folks first learn from
anyone who reads the sand rinse thread knows we save tanks from complete loss there, its not fifty pages of fails. Following groupthink to not ever rinse the system is how they earned wrecked tanks and posted for help, we then helped.
Well, when they listen vs dig in heels day one, they learn automatic control options over the reef for use later on, say during dinos outbreaks, uncontrollable cyano etc.
We learn that the crowd sourced ideas come up short when unexpected variables happen, and sandbed rinsers are a group of folks who lose less corals, less full system wipeouts, they're not dependent on retail supports like bottle bac for every flinching reef tank move, we turn out powerful reefers as pre rinsers but Garf wouldn't know that or agree, he doesnt read my threads.
everything I post in a thread comes from honest patterning deduced from thousands of cumulative jobs, while it may be a surprise to some my actual goal is to help reefs work better, not harm them.
