@Reefering1 and @Should I those were my thoughts as well. He posts the same thing, asks the same thing, gets the same answers. That tank is WAY over populated as it is. Oh well, he'll do what he wants and then ask why his tank crashed, or fish die, get eaten, etc...

I don't think your answers are going to be much different than your 30(no exaggeration) other threads asking about how much you can stuff into this tank. You keep getting the same responses and you do it anyways. Why ask at all?
The thing Ive also pointed out is this is about a 190 display. The 240 gallons he talks about are total volume between the sump AND display. Ive mentioned this multiple times but it is ignored each time… so the tank is overstocked for a 240 gallon DISPLAY, which this tank is about 50 gallons shy of.
