Achilles Tang Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Of course not. There's also temperature, PH, salinity, nitrates, ammonia, light intensity, water circulation, dissolved organics, phosphates, magnesium, iodine, strontium and other trace elements to worry about, toxic reactions etc. Not to mention individual coral needs & housing requirements. And compatibility with each other and other livestock. Some things are much more important than others. But all these parameters will add to the tasks of managing your tank well. I recommend you pick up a good marine aquarium book. If you don't start off with a good foundation, you'll never be a good reefkeeper. Trust me.

SRC Member CalciumReef Posted January 24, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 24, 2004 theres no need to restart your tank.What you need to do is to put the things wrong right....Tank equipment also plays a big factor on top of what AT has mentioned.
