My sentiments exactly. I'm a
lazy reefer so I don't want to spend too much time on my tank. However, at the same time I don't want my tank to look like @$$. So..

.. after a 2 year break from the hobby this is what I did as well. In my first stab at the hobby years back my tank was all sorts of pain and suffering with all sorts of maintenance. After some time off I got back in to it but this time I decided that although it will be expensive, more expensive than any previous tanks that i've had, it will be well worth the monetary investment to throw equipment at the tank to help reduce maintenance time on the tank. Think opportunity costs! Controllers, dosers, monitors, etc, all well worth it to me.
Some people manually top off their water and manually dose a few chems here and there and say they have a simple and low maintenance system. Some people would consider that very complex and high maintenance system. In the end it is all relative.
