The difficulty of recommending a KISS method, is every tank is a little or a lot different from others. Each tank presents its own challenges, and it takes on average 2 years for it to “stabilize.” As a result, myself and others have to try a variety of different methods, techniques, and equipment, until a solution is found for our specific tanks.
On the other hand, for my tank, I really believe in the KISS method once I found what works for my tank. I critically review my set up continuously and try to simplify things as I go. I eliminate gear, if it’s not overly useful. I try to eliminate weak links. But, I may also add procedures, practices, and gear for redundancy and fail safes.
Additionally, I try do DIY where I can to save money. Compared to the fresh water side, I feel we are being kind of ripped off. Examples include fish food, Triton style elements (Ba, Va, I, Mo, Mn, etc), amino acids, retrofit T5’s, and so on.
