Are there three kinds of reefers?

My lights are 120° lens and produce what I would say is a 12000 k to 14000 k light. The colors can be manipulated but I think Noopsyche has done a great job with these lights. The controls are somewhat limited but it is a very straight forward light that is getting good results with my Monti and zoas. If you want to know the exact lights I am using check out the Noopsyche K7 Pro II lights. This system I built also has auto water change and top up. Now when I say auto water change it is NOT using a auto water changer but I do have the ability to draw water from my tank quickly, hit a switch and it fills with new saltwater. After this tank fully settled I am hoping not to have to do water changes at all or very little. As you can see, early morning here, inhabitants still waking up.

Basement tanks or sumps. Lots of opportunity for filtration adding seagrass or mangroves which I am getting next month.

I'd say I'm 2 and 3. I take aquascaping seriously, I think it is an extrenely important part of having a reef tank. Necessary for the inhabitants, regardless if its fish, coral, or inverts. I've used both live and base rock and see the benefits of both. I dont like to chase numbers or mess with my system, so I let things be unless I notice an issue. And I will definitely notice if there issues, I notice ever little change in my tanks.

Strong #1... Just look at my current build, I built the tank, lights, 'stand', ats, sump, have built custom reactors for friends tho not myself, even considered building my own skimmer but just didn't. I test, test, and test some more making tiny changes every few weeks as needed but otherwise 90% of the tank is automated and runs like a machine with my hands never touching water.

Now if you look at the tank it was strongly setup for fictional asthetics and I consider it living art, but it functions like a machine.

Lol I love the YouTube type number descriptions. The top 3 pieces of equip, top 10 fish, top 5 inverts, yadda yadda.

I’m a number two (doesn’t sound right), but still finger-painting.
