Buy a Boon Lawn countertop drying rack to air dry your testing equipment. Works great! And make sure you buy the flower attachment. Bought used online for $15, totally worth it!

Entry 1: my advice is to buy test kits that are quick to run, easy to use and easy to read. If the test is quick, easy to do and easy to read, you are more likely to actually stay on top of your testing. With that in mind, Hanna checkers are the way to go for things like alkalinity and po4 readings.

best thing i have learned besides stability is to really take the time and not at the same time every day to watch your reef looking for anything different . be a coral and fish wisperer .you will catch the stuff your dipping missed and a lot of times before it gets bad

Some of the best advice that I've received is that there is more than one way to do something in this hobby. Ask a question and you'll receive 100 answers that all end up doing the same thing. We're not keeping livestock we're keeping the best water possible. Keep your water stable and pristine and the rest will take care of itself.

I shared the thread to a Discord group I'm in, does that count? I think it's social media...
It counts as long as it can be verified. If you've got a screenshot or something, that works. (Btw, I know NOTHING about how discord works. LOL)

Official entry: best piece of advice I have gotten was don’t feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available for the hobby. There can be a lot of conflicting information in the hobby. This can be confusing but don’t be afraid to make mistakes

My advice... Ask questions... Research, and then ask again.

*Crosses fingers* I still use metal halides... I need this

Official entry:
Best advice for anyone with stony coral is to test alkalinity at least weekly...no matter what! Every single week or more frequently till forever. There have been several instances where I always tested right at 9.6 every time for months on end. I'd then get lazy and not test for a month, and Bam! Alk is either 5 or 12. Seems to always be stable when your testing routinely.

Bonus 4
The most obvious thing is the pricepoint of the lights. Can have top notch lights for an affordable price that aren't a foot wide and 20 pounds each
