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

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