I see a lot of reefs that are beautiful that people are very proud of and yet remain simplistic in their components.
There is definitely a prevailant attitude in this hobby that the more money you've spent, the better off your reef will be and the funny thing is that this is a mentality that creates and propogates itself, I'm amazed at times at how much influence the capital market and rampant consumerism can have on otherwise stable minds.

Spend lots of money and feel good about your reef because you have spent as much money on it as you possibly could and have everything looked after by your electric monitors and wallet or adversely, try maintaining a reef with very little technological aid and bust your *** making it work.
You can always try a mix of both of these methods as well and just see what works for your preferred level of spending and man hours....

Well you said that a lot better than me...
