Bingo! You are spot on about this interconnected and dependent food web. I love maintaining natural systems. They operate on automatic with very little required to maintain them. This makes me a “laissez faire” reefkeeper. I do enjoy my tank, but I do not wish to be a slave to it. Natural works for me.
