I agree Peter. There are just too many variables in this hobby to have absolute rules. I think most of the "rules" we have should be considered more as guidlines. I've been at this hobby for 5 yrs. and on this board for almost that long. In that time allot of the absolute truths have now fallen to the wayside.
Corals and fish are tougher then most people think. Just watch one of the Discovery Channel shows on reefs and the ocean. It's brutal out there. I've had zoo's that took 4 days to get to my house only to have them open w/in a few hours of being in my tank. In my early days, I've had fish survive, and seem to thrive, some horrible tank conditions while I was trying to learn this hobby.
I'm not saying ignore the rules, just don't spazz out because your tank is not in some set spec's. Watch your inhabitants and they will let you know how things are.
