Deeeeluxe or simple system?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

My systems have usually been quite KISS.

I use tapwater (untreated), IO salt, a decent protein skimmer (SWC Extreme 200 - soon to be upgraded to Deltec Recirc), and lots of live rock (excess in sump/refugium along with chaeto).

Never did the Zeo route. To complicated and precise dosing. Have a couple of Calcium reactors but never hooked them up (my bad).

Supplements:

Add Mg with my top up water using an DIY Auto Top Off and 5 gallon salt bucket.

Added Kalkwasser with 2L juice jug but now started using a very simple Kent 5g doser for Kalk.

I'm mostly into LPS with a few SPS, clams, and softies. Probably 80% LPS right now, which is where I like it.

My lights I just upgraded to DIY LEDs (built locally, not by moi) and this mainly because I love the blue LED look of the corals and so I don't have to change bulbs in the future as much as anything. I do appreciate the lower hydro bill when that happens (although I run my lights longer with LEDs than with MH).
