You can easily said that these can be predicted and prevented by easy observation of your tank. That is provided you have time to sit in front of your tank all the time. How many reefers can do that? The lost of certain trace elements due to overskimming can be reversed by water changes. As long as you run a skimmer in your tank then you already lost trace elements. |

bro spsman...
if you do not have an oversized skimmer...then lets presume that your skimmer is working at its maximum...all of a sudden due to the death of a fish or snails and clams spawning or what so ever reason...how can your skimmer remove the DOCs if it is already working at its maximum??? signs of tank crash can be seen in advance is true....but why is your tank crashing? most probably due to the large collection of organic materials...and maybe i ask why is there so much organic materials left if your skimmer is efficient enough? then if u say that tank crahes are due to cumulative periods of negligence...then like that we should not use skimmers or phosphate removers....cos if so we will be neglecting...all we are doing is sitting back and relax...once in a while just change media...thats all....and if indeed we are using these stuff and of appropriate amounts....how can there be any factors to cause our tank to crash...cos from what u said...being able to see the signs...these tank crashing factors are something that is cumulative and not something that occur suddenly... so have you also thought of something that occurs suddenly that can cause a tank crash...where will your safety net be??? what if you tank is really that good and u are that pro that even your corals start spawning also...then how? the corals are suiciding and if u dont have a skimmer capable of removing much more waste then as usual....then the cumulation of DOCs will become a problem... and if u are using the ferari as an example...will under utilisation of the bubbles spoil the skimmer? |

Here's my view on oversizing.
E.g HDB HDB will always overdesign their housing blks to withstand weight load many times its normal usage. If HDB only build according to what is normally needed, what happened if some freak decided to build a 8x3x3 tank? Again .. if way overdesigned, the costs will be many times higher and yet still serve the same purpose. The key is to have a safety factor of 2-3, ratings that is at least 2-3 times the bioload to allow more buffer. |
