Many reefers today strive towards mimicking mother nature. From trying to get those parameters to match natural saltwater, to aquascaping their tanks to perfection. Many are embraced to succeed in this hobby by doing it like nature.
The hot topic of late is water motion at night. Many reefers purchase controllers or devices to move water in multitude of ways. These controllers can throttle up or down your powerheads/wave devices to mimic surges or calm waters. The common belief these days on this topic is that you should throttle down your water current at night, to allow organisms to rest, according to nature. This is becoming a big misconception and people are getting themselves (and their tanks) in a big trap.
