I believe the motto is part of the cause of mass tank algae invasions we see over the last two decades, that nothing good happens fast. We save tanks from algae invasion mighty quick, the slower they respond the worse the invasion gets.
False beliefs about imparting instability to a system are the #1 reason aquarists will not take the lead in simply opting out of a tankwide invasion. They've never been given formal permission to do so, yet those who write formal permissions (authors of yore) don't run algae cure threads to see if their approaches work for the masses who may take all things slow in reefing. live cure threads are way accountable.
for sure stocking of fish should adhere to the motto.
and stocking of other animals, research x3 etc.
fine motto for chasing nutrients to certain goal levels (if someone wants to do that)
Its a fine motto for everything other than how to deal with 1 rock of algae invasion, in a tank where inaction will produce 100 rocks of invasion pretty quick.
Its neat how we have to know which rules to break in reefing if we want to evolve. Imagine if tank size rules were followed, pico reefs would all be 20 gallons and still cost a grand to stock out.
it seems to me the rule needs updating to a 2.0 status, that which you should do quickly in a reeftank.
