I have a very simple regime. I do a 15 gal water change once a month. (I don't use rodi water 
- haven't had problems with our Vancouver water)
I still use buckets & add top off water by hand once a day. This was a very modest-budget build using all 2nd hand equipment, so tank was bought from a freshwater hobbyist. The only new purchase were the LED lights at $299.
I guess my philosophy (admittedly partly do to budget) is KISS.
After saying I wouldn't have SPS coral, I've since decided they are pretty awesome after all. So far, seeing good growth/colour. So I guess I'd better google dosing and start that going

Wow!!! LOVE IT!! Nice job!!!
I was tempted to join in but I am "almost" sumpless so doesn't fit the criteria.
Looking at the replies, it is proven that ones can have a nice reef tank without the all the conventional equipment. Great job!

That's tricky what are I using for overflow. Not a siphon right?I got an amazing deal on a wet dry filter aka sump.. shun me if you must lol spent this weekend putting it together and getting it running.
Not in its final location but currently in its testing phase
