Good response, Schackmel. I think that buying new corals when things aren't going so well, is like a couple that decides to have a child because the marriage is on the rocks. Just as that couple expects that they'll become closer because "they have to," is as invalid an assumption as "if I spend lots of money on new corals I'll be that much more apt to husband my tank better." It's just not the case. Just as the couple needs to fix the marriage, we need to fix the tank.
Good luck!
