Here's some pics of my comm tank, the are 9 aro's: 2 XB, 2 SR, 2 RTG, Green, Black, and a Silver. 7 Severums, 15 Clown Loachs, Tea Cup and Motoro Rays, and 5 Plecos. I've been using a continous water changing system for a few weeks now with great success, I was doing 2 150-200 gallon a week water changes which took lots of time. Now the system changes 60-70 gallons a day, with a strong bio filtration there is zero Ammonia, Zero Nitrites, 15 ppm Nitrates, and a of Ph 7.1 . The fish have been doing very good, infact rain gear could be used for feeding time . The biggest is still my DFI RTG thats about 4yrs old at 25 inches, and the longest is my black about 4 yrs old that is 27 inches, all the rest are between 13-18 inches. The Super Reds, XL RTG, Bukit merah, and the Green are 1.2-1.4 years old. The Sapphire is 2.5 yrs and is recovering nicely from being stunted when I got him 6 months ago. None of the pics have been photoshopped or enhanced. I hope you enjoy the pics. I

Thanks, the tank is 110" L x 32" W x 40" D ( nets about 550 gallons ).

Tainted Glory Oh lord. What a setup! Details on the water change system?

Thanks, here's a brief description...

I have a Kent marine RO/DI that constantly fills the tank. In the sump I have a float and timer system that pumps out the rising sump level to the sewer. I have installed high/low level, and power failure shut downs to prevent spilling and/or pump damage. I dose the tank with black water drip system or keep ketapang leaves in the sump, and dose salt with pond auto feeder( API salt / Epsom salt 50/50 ) to add some trace elements.

DiXoN that whole set up is looking very good.
nice aros too.

Thanks You
