The reason I found out about his quarantine procedure at the zoo, was because he was starting a Madagascan exhibit. I believe was going to be around 500 gallons, and I donated some Paretroplus maculatus.
I had asked if I'd get to see it before moving, and with his 6 month quarantine stretch, I never did.
But yes he also has a 10,000 gallon Amazon tank, with Pacu the size of monster truck tires, and a couple of 5 ft red tail cats, I couldn't imagine treating that.
He said every week he had people trying to dump their oversize Pacus, and RT cats there, none of which he could take.

I cant imagine the cost of treating a water column that large.
