I typically see a lot more “nasty” looking tanks with really high end gear than really nice looking tanks with basically nothing. IME, knowledge and experience is what generates success vs. buying the snazzy gear. While it does serve a purpose, i’ve seen time and time again that the advantages to “high end” equipment are minimal when it comes to actually keeping coral and tend to be more beneficial in remotely monitoring your system...which should have numerous redundancies on a basic level. We could probably keep coral in a 5g bucket with a single t5ho bulb, an air stone and a heater with a heater controller and that would be enough, but it wouldn’t be as flashy or impart a look of “complexity” like hanging snazzy leds and operating a feeder from a tablet while you stand six feet away from the tank during a frag trade.
