tank looks nice and clean...but seems extremely short on total live rock, doesnt seem like it could really keep up with a decent bioload..

Don't discount your sandbed. Sandbeds can actually be more important than live rock for denitrification if they are deep enough.

Beautiful tank :thumbsup:, lovely clean scape, nicely colored corals and some cool fish, love the anampses :thumbsup:

Filtration is only skimmer and siporax in sump? Any Carbon dosing?

 

[Scythanith]

Great looking tank! I love the less is more approach you took with your rock work.

Malooda , siporax is used in fresh wather tanks , is a place were bacterias stay , to promote de nitrification process , like i don have too much rock , i use siporax in sump to fix the bacteria population ...
