Great looking set-up Won't be long before you have to add/change water flow.

Very nice,
How do you keep it as clean as it appears. It is spotless! Front, back and sides!
WOW!

Thanks for all of the comments:

Believe it or not I use tap water and I don't get any algae growth anywhere in the tank. I don't do major water changes anymore but I do clean the filter media I have in my sump every 3 days which takes out a lot of detritus before it has a chance to break down. I also clean my skimmer once a week and it’s a bit oversized for my tank so that helps.

Every 3 weeks I will use a kent pro scraper on the back walls of the tank. It’s basically a big metal blade that scrapes off the coralline growth. I also dose a little bit of vinegar and vodka which I find really keeps my nutrients low, sometimes too low which is why some of the corals are a bit pale at the moment.
