The Force will be with you. Always.
I cannot only enjoy the view of your tank, great job. It doesn’t matter what people say, of the tank is happy like this then you are doing the right thing !I got called a master again the other day, it makes me very uncomfortable, I just do things how I think they should be done.
Running a mixed reef is very fulfilling for me, and apparently easy!
It is easy but takes a lot of planning and patience.
I guess it is an approach, aquaculture, mariculture, it is not a definable "system" it is creating a system that should have the ability to deal with nutrient import, feeding fish, they poop, nutrients are created, things absorb those nutrients.
I went though 18 months of pain getting this about right, over the years I figured out what I did wrong, I should have started it macro algae heavy, I am just a bloke doing things differently and trying to learn more!
The one thing I would say is that higher nutrients seem, imo to makes tanks more adaptable, corals might not be super colo(U)rs but they will be healthy!
