Two XP3 canister filters (2x 350gph) mostly with bio media Four Aquaclear 70 powerheads w/ quickfilters (4 x 400 GPH) for mechanical Two Hydor Koralia Pumps (2 x 1400 GPH) Deltec MCE600 Skimmer 500 GPH UV Sterilizer Total GPH: 5600 Maybe "massive" is a bit of an overstatement- its a lot. The proof is in the pudding, the tank stays clean, clear and the fish are fat and healthy. Only stress comes from the stupid domino damsels constantly laying eggs.... I think its a bit incorrect to say that there are too many fish in a tank (the fish getting too large for a tank is another statement all together, one which I agree with. If anyone has seen yellow tangs in the wild they will know that even these guys will outgrow a 200 gallon). If the tank is doing well and in balance, and there is no aggression, then where is there an issue? Maybe we should put a disclaimer "Only to be attempted by professionals". Raf and I are not reckless- we know what we are doing. Cheers! -Diana |

Update! Our fish were lucky enough to receive an upgrade to a new home. They now reside in an 800 gallon cylinder with artificial reef. Sad to see them go, but I love seeing them school and with so much room. We still maintain this aquarium so we get to see them every week.

Looks neat, is that a private tank or in a public spot? Just wondering because it sort of sounds like canned rain/thunder sounds in the background but I'll just disclaimer that statement right now that I had a really lousy sleep with a headcold (who has two thumbs and gets a head cold on the eve of June? This guy!! Apparently... {grumble}) so I kind of have no idea what those sounds are.

haha Tony you know I'm not quite sure either, Raf has this video editing program on his iphone and he added the sounds in. I think its supposed to be rain and waves on the beach? The aquarium is in a private house. Get better soon!
