I’ve been reefing for 25+ years. It’s all been based on my knowledge of biology and chemistry. Testing natural conditions that occur in healthy natural reefs and trying to emulate that in a closed system.

I don't know anything about water, other than just doing a water test and looking at the PH, Nitrate, Nitrite, Amanda, and that about it. If someone would be kind enough to help me along here, it would be greatly appreciated.Water gardening: How have you learned to understand the water in your tank?
To be an effective reef keeper you need to understand water. If we focus on being water gardeners first, then success in reefing will often follow. How have you learned to understand the water in your tank? Was it from someone at a local fish store (LFS) and a local reefer? Was it from reading, watching videos, or on a forum such as R2R? Maybe you have an educational background in the sciences, or you learned through trial and error – whatever it was, please tell us how you have learned about water!

Just a tiny itsy bit jealous!! Ughh. I’d never be dry! I would always be in some sort of water if I lived there. Lol!I am fortunate to live on the coral sea in rural Queensland (Wide Bay). I collect seawater on incoming high tide away from other activity and transfer into food-grade storage drums near my sump. Seawater is aged for over 1 month before use in water changes and introduced through my ReefMat.
Exactly!! All of them! And still learning!!LOL ALL OF THE ABOVE
