Nice tank. How does your water stay stable with that huge bio load? That's a lot of fish.

 

Thank you,
It takes lots of Phos remover and a good working
No3 remover Plus lots of TLC

Interesting.
Why the canister filter? More water volume? Suprised that youre not running a sump.

 

ditto

 

Always preferred to use externals and holds roughly 50 L between the two externals and as you see works for me, Plus sumps doesn't always guarantee you success there are plenty of ways to skin a cat so to speak
