How to Public Aquariums Filter Their Displays?

Every time i go to a public aquarium and look at their displays, their all so freaking clean and not even a little tiny bit of fish poop floating around or fish food even tho they feed on a regular basis. In my tanks on the other hand i always see fish poop or small pieces of fish food floating around and it a huge eyes sore also im and avid photographer and i cant even begin to tell you how many great shots ive had ruined by a piece of poop in the fishes face or just floating around in the pic,

So can anyone off any insight on how public aquariums do their filtration so maybe we can get some tips on how to keep our personal tanks just as clean



any videos, pics or even people who work at aquariums would be highly appreciated!

Don't know what to tell you - but if a tank is adequately maintained, you shouldn't be seeing poop floating around.

Also - their tanks are so large, that, like in nature, some waste will just settle to the bottom (which is usually tastefully decorated with rocks, plants, etc) where it just disappears and gets broken down, again, as in nature.

My tanks are well maintained, its not alot of stuff floating around just the one or two pieces i see,

but you do make a good point, about the massive amount of water they have, never though of that
