I believe the most sage advice given on UKAPS is to “give it time”.
Plant growth, filter maturity, algae control, the list goes on.
Many issues can remedy themselves if the aquarist resists panicking and making chaotic interventions.
Putting trust in nature is sound advice as nature has so often earned our trust.
One of the great tools seems to be keeping your hands off perceived problems, while everything settles down. Then only taking action when you have a firm understanding of why, what, how and when something should be done.
Jumping to action (or reaction) without pausing to reflect can ultimately create more instability.
I believe that time is a great resource and the ability to trust in nature is a huge asset.
