Has reefing become too complicated?

[Gundy]

I started 35 years ago.
Some of the stuff now I love.
I love my new skimmer, for instance.
Way better.
Some stuff I'm just not that into.
I believe the internet is good and bad for the hobby.
This site is great and I've learned a lot from a lot of cool, knowledgeable people.
If your phone had a BS filter that would be great.
I believe our job as hobbyists is to pass on helpful, correct knowledge and answers to all the new ones out there. It's easy to go astray in this hobby. I research everything 100 times and make no snap decisions-that's just my personality.
Patience is the key.
That doesn't answer the question of has reefing become to complicated.
All I can say is it is what you make it.

This is very true. As far as information goes, this site is very helpful compared to all the Facebook groups. I really feel the majority of the information on R2R is informative with very knowledgeable people contributing on a daily basis. Facebook groups give out false information continuously with the poster having to decipher what is good advice and what is not.

I have two tanks. One where I dose, give weekly water changes, change filters, add weird chemicals, add new bits of tech. The other gets none of those. I haven’t even tested the water in months.

The second one is the one that never shows any issues :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Then why all the trouble for less optimal results? Why not neglect them both?
