I would like to add something about the definition of "crash".
My reverse UG filtered 34 year old reef almost always has some algae in it and thats the way I want it. Bomber once said that if my tank was all sps it would be called a crash, and he would be correct. But my tank is mostly fish, and LPS with only a few SPS corals all of which live a very long time. With the fish arguably dying of old age of from 10 to 18 years. Is my tank in a perpetual state of crash? maybe.
Here in NY we have lagoons literally chocked in ulva algae, but if you push away the algae you will find loads of very healthy animals that can live very nicely under those conditions. Is the lagoon crashing? maybe for some animals but for others it is paradise. You keep the sort of animals that will live under the conditions that you have designed your tank for. Baby tuna will not live in a reef tank even though it may be the same type of water and temp. but sea robins will have no problem.
Have a great Father's day.
