    OMG :drool: I've seen a system like that before, I believe it was at a zoo! Very impressive, I can only imagine how much time and money you have invested in to that setup, but it definitely well worth it. Only thing I can think to make it better is if you had a underground cavern that you could use to view the fish through a cutout ;D

    Great video and great setup, you've done a great job with the setup. It's really cool to see all those fish together and happy. That filtration area is amazing, your a definite asset to this hobby.

    Also, you may want to beware adding clams with those angels in there, they may decide to make them lunch.

    ummmm WOW. I thought the pond was cool, then I saw the equipment pictures and I fell off my chair. That is as bad ass as they come man. Fantastic job. Quite an outdoor area you have. Are you on the intercoastal? Do you use any of the sea water or drain out water change water into the ocean? With all that equipment you don't have to. Just curious...

    Wow. You should go into business selling these outdoor setups. Incredible. What is the turnover rate on that pond?

    more questions

    ya, to think i've been proud of my 0.075 kgal system. :-[

    amazing system!

    Where do you get those cool directional stickers for the plumbing - that'd help me a bit...

    how deep is the pond at it's deepest point, and what does it measure size-wise overall?

    do you do water changes - how frequently any how?

    you mentioned filtration - other than the skimmer, what do you use?

    what type of salt, and what additives are you using?
