While the eggcrate hides heater and pumps, it is there because of how Dynamic “fluid mechanics” work. To avoid turbulent flow the eggcrate provides channels to allow water into pump void, without piling up macro. It is a somewhat hit/miss process.
Vinegar lowering nitrates is incomplete and misleading. Because SPS reefkeepers have preached a religion of nutrient export, to them the purpose of adding a carbon source is to remove nutrients via protein skimming. I add carbon because it is an essential building block for macro, coral, fish and the list goes on.
