First, the video, followed by info on the system:

The Ocean Guard by Aquaforest is described by the manufacturer as follows:

Modern technologies, combined with years of aquarium experience, allowed us to develop the AF Aquariums. Every element of this carefully designed set has been created according to the strictest quality standards. It is the result of collaboration between the best engineers and aquarists, with whom we have created the best reef solutions. We have chosen to use Optiwhite™ glass and black silicone, which has been specially developed for marine aquarium purposes and guarantees maximum waterproofness. The crystal clear glass does not distort colours, is easy to clean and increases scratch resistance. Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a low-iron, super-clear glass with no green tint, which is extremely important for marine aquariums with thick glass. The ultra-flat surface is guaranteed by the highest quality manufacturing process and ensures that there is no distortion, providing perfect conditions for observing your corals. The black overflow box, bottom and back glass guarantee high aesthetics. The removable weir comb is easy to clean and the noise-reducing cover makes the water flow almost inaudible. Professional foam ensures safety and allows easy installation of the aquarium on the cabinet. The appropriate thickness of the glass allowed us to create a rimless aquarium while ensuring excellent light transmission and full safety of the set. The Optiwhite™ glass, appreciated by aquarists all over the world, is mounted on a waterproof high-pressure hardwood plywood construction that guarantees high load-bearing capacity. AF aquarium kits reach our customers with a fully assembled support structure, saving you time and assuring you that it has been properly assembled and thoroughly tested. The specific requirements of marine aquariums have led us to choose technologies that meet the highest standards and requirements in marine vessel construction. It guarantees durability and safety, making the cabinet 10 times more durable than other products of this type available on the market. Marine yacht technology means that only waterproof materials are used that are resistant even in difficult conditions, such as humidity or heat. The construction has no weak points, besides the multi-layer pressed yacht plywood, we have paid attention to the smallest details, such as Japanese steel hinges and A2 stainless steel screws with increased durability. The minimalist design fits perfectly into any interior, and the removable, waterproof outer panels allow you to change the colour of the cabinet without dismantling or moving the aquarium. We have combined aesthetics with practicality, which is why we focus on convenience of use! The modern design allowed us to create the right amount of space for daily aquarium service, as well as a convenient shelf (e.g. for a dosing pump) and a place for a cooler. A solid PVC sump mounted on vibration-damping foam adds the finishing touch. We chose PVC instead of glass, not only for its great look, but also for its supreme durability and waterproofing. The modern design of the sump also includes water level markings to make it easier to adjust the units. We have equipped the cascade chambers with filter socks that can be replaced with Aquaforest media reactors at any time. The non-return valve prevents water from flowing into the sump, e.g. in the event of a circulating pump failure or a temporary power cut. The pipe diameters adapted to the needs of the advanced aquarium hobby guarantee a large system capacity and thus a much more efficient filtration. All pipework elements have been developed for the needs of marine aquariums, you can assemble them quickly and most importantly - without gluing! We have used solid bulkheads with large diameters to prevent even the smallest micro-leaks. A precise gate valve allows you to easily adjust the water level.
