Dean, I see a flaw in Shimek's theory. He tries to quantify the instability of the reef. He does that with very good evidence. I don't disagree with that. However, the stability comes on a daily basis, macro managed so to speak. If it were micro managed and the stability remained constant all day everyday then it would be the way we try to maintain our tanks.

The problem with his instability theory is that IF our tanks do vasilate in temp and SG consistently everyday the way the lagoons or atolls do, there would be no issues IMO as well as Shimek's opinion. However, the lagoons and atolls consistently change the same way. Look at the graphs. Our tanks are not consistent with their changes. It's very haphazard in the swings.
