Totally agreed. Some of my nicest setups have been the simple ones. I had a skimmerless Biocube 14 with only cheato, LRR, and chemi pure-elite in the fuge part, and it was amazing. Never touched the thing and it was just perfect.
I think most times there is definitely some root cause of issues that most people are un-aware of, such as leaching. You never really know where live rock is coming from and what has been on/in it and the tank. Something was probably leaching into your old system

I like you have had coral issues over the past couple years... Currently I run a skimmer, cheato, LR and LR rubble in the refuge/sump area. NO CARBON!!!
I do my weekly water changes, and watch my parameters, and can say things are easier and seem to be improving. I use to do Zeo, pellets, and every other thing. I keep it simple and am now using Prodibio, with some nice results from it. Corals are actually starting to color up, brown is dissappearing. So I do recommend the simple method. Just my 2 cents from someone who has wasted alot of money in this hobby.
