Oh trust me, I know the joyess fealing all too well and I too still feel it even after 15 years of doing it! Every new tank is like you get to start all over again gobbling up all the info you can possibly cram in your noggin plus the lofty dreams and visions of the endless possibilities for the system to come!
Also it only gets better with age cause usually that means you get more money to see more dreams to fruition! I can afford to buy whatever I want for my tank but I still DIY everything I possibly can because of the joy it brings and the way it makes you wake up full of energy and speed home to get back at it!
As to the balling method and 2 part, im no noob here but since auto dosing two part has worked well for me I guess I just never saw a need to change. I am just trying to get some definitive proof or opinion that it works better as like most of us, I want to do everything possible to improve the health and quality of my little slice of the ocean! I see most european reefer use it and you never hear them talk about brs style 2 part. DOnt know if thats cause its not available or if its akin to driving on the wrong side of the road just to not be like Americans! lol[/QUOTE]
Hi Chris, 15 years in the hobby ur a veteran, that's cool
We have the same train of thought here couldnt agree with you more on what you've said. :thumbsup:
Yes DIY gives you such a sense of pride and satisfaction when you see your ideas come into life, right?
I'd love to do more DIY on my set up but I think I'm bit chickened out on it coz I myself don't trust my skills :lmao:
But whatever I think I can do I always go for it.
Hmm hope ur wife or gf don't read this post, though our little reefs are a big inspiration to rush back home nobody has the balls to say it out loud :lol2:
Wifekeeping and Reefkeeping should go hand in hand :lmao: no other choice but DIY here!
Couldn't agree with u more I truly believe if something has been working for you don't change it coz each system is unique, things that work in one not necessarily will work the same way in another.
I try not to change or try something new on a well established system with corals thriving. I try to avoid experimenting on thriving systems. But in a new set up I feel the freedom to try new things and try striking a balance.
Balling, no pun intended:lmao:, is routine in European systems. Most of them prefer 2 part over 3 part. But iv seen that it's catching up in other parts of the world too.
