There is so much information out there for you on reef aquariums, that sometimes when you google something you just don’t know what to believe! Here are 7 myths, misconceptions or commonly confused ideas that are often thrown around the hobby.

Nice vids tho either or, thumbs up
In the background:
- A dedicated 5'-6' tall plastic water storage container, possibly just for RO/DI or for mixing saltwater
- Into the bottom of said is plumbed a high flow AC pump, plumbed both to the top and to the bottom of the tank
- The aforementioned plumbing has a tee of tho the right. Perhaps some sort of automated way of redirecting fresh saltwater into the reef tank?
- In the background of shot: more PVC plumbing coming from an entirely unseen system, a nest of power cords hanging from the wall and ceiling, several controllers mounted on the wall, etc.
This setup is incredibly sophisticated. I wouldn't say there's any "simple" or "bare minimum" about this setup. Most beginner to intermediate reefers filter RO/DI into 5g buckets when they need it. Most beginner to intermediate reefers mix saltwater in Home Depot buckets or Brute trashcans. Most beginner to intermediate reefers use an MJ1200 or comparable utility pump and flex tubing to pump the mixed water into the aquarium.
I think more experienced reefers tend to downplay the complexity of a reef aquarium system because we understand how these complicated systems behave. The unfortunate reality is that reef aquariums are not simple by any stretch of the imagination. They're more a long-running chemistry or science experiment than they are simple pet or fish keeping. There many topics in which you must become proficient before you can be a successful reef keeper. That's not to say it's impossible or that people shouldn't try. I just think it's a bit disingenuous to say that setups can be simple or bare-bones and be effective.

I hope University is going well and I'll look forward to more as they come
the same goes for other problems like algae, ...
Use as much as you need for the aquascape. If needed, add siporax to the sump.
I'll just stick to the US guideline. I'll use about half a pound of pukani rock per gallon in my next tank

Person 1 - I have algae, help!
Person 2 - Check your phosphate levels using a test.
Person 1 - Zero phosphate detected after testing.
Person 2 - Testing is pointless because the algae is using the phosphate.
More water changes, Polyfilter, bigger tanks are likely to reduce concentrations.
on that little was nano cube.....not trolling just busting your balls lol
But I'm still here for the fight lol

its not in in the books but chopped raw garlic saved my blue tang. Heck, Thera -A and many other marine goods have garlic.
