STocKing the Reef TanK

[loonz]

Hey, just wondering how many of us are CONTENTED with the livestocks in our tanks that we stop adding new stuff into it ?? How many of us actually have a fully stocked tank that has been running for a while? If not, do most of us spend money week in week out at the LFS, replacing dead specimens or just hoping that the tank at home could sustain just one mroe coral, or just one more fish ??

Hmmm...

Matter of discipline, I guess, altho easier said than done

Started with planted tanks (still have one) and I have managed to resist adding any fish/plants after optimal point...but the damn fishes kept multiplying!

So regularly gave away fish like platys provided guarantee they do not become fish food...

Hopefully will be able to maintain same discipline now that I am also going into marine...

Glad to hear that...I remember there was a time when i was happy with my tank too until my cuke nuked it and all my fishes were wiped out in a span of 2 hours. Imagine my heartache...
