Pic's??

which skimmer??

[ObscurityKnocks]

He has pics in his gallery.

What kind of filtration are you using and how long has this tank been setup? I don't see a hint of algea, the tank is so clean it looks brand new.

Ditto - this looks to be a really new setup.

[Roughhawk]

[ObscurityKnocks]

According to comments in his gallery it is 1 year old.

[Dave Cox]

You, Sir, are mad. Stark staring bonkers !

[blface]

I agree you are insane!!!

[Chihuahua6]

Wow! What do you feed and how often? How often do you add critters to the sand bed? Do the angels fight or do the large numbers keep them in balance? What will you do when some of the fish get too large? How many, how often did you add fish to get to this number? Hope you don't mind so many questions.

[Ochi]

you sir are going to have a situation on yours hands...

[BTTRFLYGRL]

Hmmmmm...I have 10 going in my 240 so far...only adding a few Anthias later


86.fish? thats just down right cruel!

[maro1]

Well, enough of the doomsday warnings guys!

Let's hear from him. what are his long term plans with this tank? what has worked? what have been the problems?

What thought process brought him to stock the tank like this?


Mar

[sabodish]

some people should not own fish tanks...

[Amphiprion]

That is interesting how it worked out, but I question the potential hazards in the long term. If there is ever a disease outbreak (which occurs more often in heavily stocked tanks and any tank at one point or another), it would be very difficult to keep it under control.

[fishfanv]

it looks nice & clean but that sure is a lot of fish!

[emperior911]

Ok, people say i'm overstocked with my 210 with 260 gallons running threw it with

Queen angel
Blonde naso tang male
emperor angel
purple tang
red coris wrasse
stars and stripes puffer
zebra moray
flame angel
flame hawk


I haven't had much problems other then ich here and there.

Question is... how does this guy not have any issues with ich? bioload? agression? From what i see it looks very entertaining to watch but i'd like to know some more info

[Psyire]

****************
I think this is a joke.
****************
I seen this tank pictured on some internet article awhile ago. I'm pretty sure they were pictures from a store somewhere.

Judging by the number of posts this user has, I'd say it's a hoax.

[JackRent]

I have a 58 gallon with:
1 ocellaris clown
1 yellow tang (4")
1 Bluethoat Trigger (4-5")
1 Yellowtail Damsel
1 Lawnmower Blenny
2 Threadfin Cardinals
2 Green Chromis
1 Striped Cardinal
1 Citron Goby
1 Six-line Wrasse

In Sump: (approx 30 gallons of water)
1 Snowflake Moray (very small)
1 Copperband Butterfly (tiny)
1 Lawnmower Blenny

People tell me I am nuts. Please reply and let me know for certain this is a joke. You've got me thinking. I 've been at this load for about 6 months and my tank is 10 months old. I change 15-20 gallons once per month and run carbon and an ASM G2 skimmer.

[doody]

Whay don't I see the gallery link from my home PC, but at work I can? Can someone actually post the pic?

[Seafood Tank]

Here is the video for 4 months ago:

[doody]

I don't know what to say. Give us details.

[jmx2]

Could it be my imagination/optical illusion that causes the
3rd picture in his gallery to look like it has been stitched together? Especially right down the middle.

[Clownfishboy]

How much did all those fish cost you and where did you get them. All the fish look really colorfull

[daFrimpster]

Did you add them all at once? If not how did you go about it?

[Seafood Tank]

It seems no one believe me.
Post this link to view my tank clearly.
