do you have any pictures of the equipment or sump area?

This is the heart of the system. Hiding inside the room behind the tank.

That is a beautiful tank! Is this inside a shopping mall?

How about explaining your feeding/dosing regimen? Anything special or different you might be doing?

Thank guys for the nice comment. Have to admit I got my inspiration from my all time favourite Oregon Reef

The tank is at my working place.

I put a lot of effort into the initial planning of the scaping and the eventual shape of the SPS colony once they start growing. I try to avoid the usual problem of SPS blocking light to the bottom part of the tank in a lot of mature SPS tank. I am also obsess with white clean sand bed. That's why the open space for me to vacuum clean the sand bed weekly during WC.

I dose 3ml of vodka daily and 1 vial of Boidigest biweekly. WC is with Instant Ocean. My WC is 120L RO weekly. I am trying to make it as simple as I can.

The tank is almost 3 years old now. All SPS are from frags.

I feed my fish with Spectrum pallet twice a day.
