海洋水族馆的业余爱好者有时会发生一件有趣的事情，他们在棕褐色的腰带下经历了几年的经验 - 他们倾向于在他们的方法和态度中自满。一旦他们掌握了水族馆保存的基础知识，它就太诱人了，让一些人踢回去，切换到“自动驾驶仪”，然后说：“嘿，我明白了！”
But this mentality can be detrimental on the road to long-term aquarium success. At the very least, it can lead to some unnecessary—and very avoidable—bumps in that road. Here are a few common symptoms of marine aquarium complacency to watch for:
“善意忽视”的迹象
当涉及到他们的坦克时，自满的业余爱好者通常并不是严重的过失，但是他们通常会陷入一种有些缺乏的方法，最好被描述为“良性忽视”。也就是说，他们在方法中变得如此舒适且缺乏，以至于问题有时会非常缓慢而几乎不可察觉地出现。
例如，它们可能会在许多年内进行相同频率和体积的水变化，而不会考虑鱼类和无脊椎动物生长的储罐中增加的生物加载。结果，硝酸盐和磷酸盐水平可以逐渐上升，从而导致“无法解释的”藻类暴发和其他与水质下降有关的问题。例如，他们可能在定期清洁水软管，管道和泵之间等待太久减慢水流在系统中爬行。
太酷了水测试
Water testing? That’s for beginners, right? Heck, I can check my levels just by sniffing the water! Okay, maybe that attitude is a slight exaggeration, but if they’re being perfectly honest, many complacent hobbyists would probably admit they don’t test their水参数as often as they should (or at all). They might also have to acknowledge that they occasionally grapple with drifting water parameters as a result.
说实话，我本人对此感到内gui。最近，我发现礁石坦克中的特定重力已经漂移了……好吧，让我们说得很远。除了我“太忙”的长时间之后我未能检查SG之外，这次经历没有什么责任，这不是一个很好的忽视借口！
杂草丛生的无脊椎动物牲畜
雷夫管理员有时会通过允许快速扩散或包裹珊瑚（例如Zoanthids，脉动）来表现出自满的趋势Xenia，绿星息肉，蘑菇息肉等grow out of hand in their tanks。现在，我不会说这适用于我，但是在看着我的75加仑珊瑚礁坦克的状态之后，它淫秽的绿色星息肉，实际上是太阳系中的其他所有人。（我发誓，坦克翻新即将来临！）
Too set in their ways
Long-time hobbyists may also reveal their complacency by exhibiting a general reluctance to adopt newer techniques and technology, even when newer methods and gear are shown to be superior to their predecessors.
再一次，在这种自满表现上，我可能和任何人一样有罪。I say this because young hobby whippersnappers (I won’t name any names here, but the initials CC come to mind) are always telling me things like, “Jeff, you’ve got to take those bioballs out of your wet/dry filter!” or “Jeff, you really need to get rid of that HOB overflow!” or “Jeff, it’s really disturbing when you perform water changes in nothing but a Speedo and sombrero!” Well, you get the idea.
