how much/ how labor intensive is the maintenance?

It's beautiful but that's awhole lot of work and know how to get up and going and to maintain it month after month.

I'm setting up my 210 gallon setup.
I just got all of my PVC plumbing minus my check valve.

I'd rather go scuba diving in the Caribbean. It's nice but a complete waste of money.

please do not use check valves, they will always fail. just make sure your return line is at the water level of the tank and that you set the water level in the Sump to handle back flow from power outage.
do this and you will be fine.
also, not a must but look into an Apex system.
get an auto top off system as well, it's a must if you're going to keep corals, keeps the salinity in check.

some people make a ton of money selling frags (fragments of coral)
although the link below is a store, users sell for the same when their pieces grow.
some sell much cheaper
