Back in the late 80's when I got into this hobby I had a 50 gallon
reef tank with various LPS.
One day I thought my salinity was a little low, but being in a lazy
mood I figured it would be OK to add some salt mix directly to the
tank -- as long as I didn't dump it directly on a coral.
But then I forgot to turn off the pump and powerheads, so several
LPS got "snowed on". I ran for the turkey baster but it was too
late. The next morning several corals had patches of bare
skeleton showing.
Moral: "If you don't have time to do it right, then don't do it
at all."
