Once a day: 5 frozen Mysis, 2 frozen Fish Eggs (in the eveneing)
Eight times a day: Fauna Marin Spirulina Soft (during the day)
Sometimes: Easy Reefs Masstick​

So from this, I would guess:
- lights on at 11am
- autofeed @ 12am
- autofeed @ 1pm
- autofeed @ 2pm
- autofeed @ 3pm
- autofeed @ 4pm
- autofeed @ 5pm
- autofeed @ 6pm
- autofeed @ 7pm
- 5 frozen Mysis, 2 frozen Fish Eggs sometime in the evening
- lights out at 9:30pm

You feed every hour? Like 6 times a day? Cool - that seems like great info. And is that just fish food or is there something there for the coral?

not exactly every hour. I have 2 automatic feeder. Both can feed 4 times a day. That makes 8 times a day, dry food: Fauna Marin Soft Spirulina M. When I come home from work at 17:30 I give them 5 frozen Mysis and 1 frozen Fish Egg.
The coral don't get any special food; but they profit from high quality fish dung Some people say, that the quantity and quality of the fish dung is the reason for my corals colour, growth and polypes. It's a very natural source of food...

Yes that's very close to what it is like... I don't remember the hours... but that's the system

Hi Mindwalkr

I hope I do not missunderstand your request.
I don't know if that makes sence to put that in a video, because my sump doesn't have any real system. It's just a 60 cm tank with the equipment as mentioned inside; no filtration chambers.
I don't know if it makes sence to make a video of feeding cycles??? Ligting??? Water Changes???
Feeding Cycle: the automatic feeders feed every hour when I am not at home, the food falls into the water, the fish eat it... nothing special
Lighting: The bulbs turn on at 11; and off at 21:30... nothing special, nothing happens
Water changes: preparation of 60 liter osmosis water mixed with FM Salt. Take out the water from the tank; put the new water inside the tank... nothing special

You mention automatic feeders feed every hour. You have more then 1 feeder? I think each feeder can feed maximum 3 to 4 times a day

Exactly. I have 2 automatic feeders. Each one is able to feed 4 times a day

Superb Tank

Amazing tank. All your sps contrast one another nicely. I specifically like the shot of the pink millepora near the solid blue millepora.

I'll be using this system as inspiration for my current sps build.

 

[Olys_Tank]

Blue and red millepora picture is the best in my opinion too. It would be nice to have the glowing green millepora more close to them too In general, milleporas are the most fascinating Acroporas to me...
