Very nice setup!

It seems to have a lot of influence by V1rotate and his built "A Reef In The Sky", or not?! ;-)))

In a way yes. "Reef in the sky" has the perfect measurements in the size as a tank can be regarding lightning and streaming setup.
For sump, overflow and the stand built I went different. I like a big sump and I am not so in to the zeovit system as it takes to much time.

I bin busy with my sump lightning and moon light.
Moon light is my profilux Simu stick. I had to make some nice brackets for it and hang it nice to the backside of the tank.
In the sump I added a blue led strip that go on and off by opening and closing the door. When I need to see better I can manually open the white LEDs as well.
And here some photos of the results.

By stating previous I was more of thinking about the clean design and setup. ;-)

And I agree, to follow orthodox the Zeovit system is a PITA.
No offense Zeoguys! ;-))

Hi Monthy, I understand it sound confusing when someone say only biopellets. I tried in the past servile combinations with filter media's as GFO with biopellets together... Ozon UV-c etc etc.. But on the end it is important to have a good working skimmer, streaming and lightning. I bypass all the filter socks etc where waste can stay in. Keep the sump and overflow all the time clean as well the wave box. I only use filter bags when I need to polish my water and this max 2/3 days. This also for active carbon. only when I see color change in the water. For the rest i only use skimmer, calcium reactor my dosing elements and some KZ products. And of course my bio pellets. I add some photos from my friend Ekstrem Akvaryum who run the same as I do. As well we use a very small fish stock, just enough to feed the corals with nitrate. If you can keep your self to built up your bio load slowly and feed less and monitor on time you can run sober with a nice looking tank. Special when you have a bigger water volume to keep balance more stable.

Here some photos. Sorry for the quality as I had to take them with my mobile
