    I wouldn't worry about a low score. I would say that 30~40% of that information is not needed to successfully run a reef tank.

    I want to throw a thought out there for people to chew on.

    Have you ever considered the thought that this test was intended to be extremely difficult to pass? Maybe give you more motivation to think about the chemical reactions happening in your tank so when a problem occurs, you can think about it?

    There's no reason to feel stupid whatsoever. I don't think Randy wants that. However, I do truly believe that he wants people to understand that they don't know everything so continue learning.

    I could be completely wrong because I've not asked Randy anything.....just some random thoughts.
