    I dont know how this is possible....

    Whoevers tank this is obiviously knows that they are doing. They've got thousands in live stock, can imagine how the fish are fed nevermind water params and filteration.

    YouTube - 400 gallon saltwater fish tank

    What you are seeing is just the front. In the back room, there has to be A LOT of water in one large or multiple sumps to aerate the DT with a ton of flow. Otherwise, the fish would be oxygen starved. This reminds me of how Petco and friends keep their fish alive in the small cubicles they have set up. And the skimming would have to be top notch as well. God forbid if the power went out and the generator blew. Without the added water volume in the back room, the fish would die.

    I'm not sure, but I think I saw a sulfur denitrator hooked up under there.

    Ya know, the more I look at this thing, the less I like it. I mean, he has nice equipement, but there is no personality to it. When I look at all of your tanks, I see artwork in progress. This is just dump as much as possible into an ecosystem. I give it a C-. Tops.

    I feel stressed when I watched this. Poor fish. I bet it's like the mall the day before Christmas for them, only it's everyday. Could you imagine living and being around that many people.. ughhh.. I think once a month I would literally kills someone!!!

    400 gallons is big, and I'm betting there's 200" worth of fish in there. I'm assuming there's another 400 gallons or so we don't see.

    Howdy,

    I have a 800 Gallon Tank with 44 fish but it is not as stressing as this one.. There is more rocks and hiding spaces.More Natural surroundings...Out of this 44 6 fish are the biggest..
    20 medium-large and the rest small..
