Thanks.
Insane lol. I used to rely mainly on an algae scrubber I built for a 300 gallon plywood tank I built but my bioload in this tank is bout triple at least but I never noticed how high my nutrient levels were getting until a few months ago. At that point I changed from a scrubbe to a 135 gallon sump pretty much totally lit to grow cheato. It's been slowly lowering my nutrients but in order to get a jump I've been doing huge water changes using natural sea water and it's made a huge difference. Now I'm down more to acceptable levels. Now I'm hoping the cheato keeps up better but I plan on doing at least a 250 gallon water change to this system once a month as that's what I can haul in one trip. There is also a 150 gallon and a 50 gallon tank plumbed in along with my 135 sump. I believe I've got close to 600 gsllons in my system. Anyway. With this many fish it's been a challenge but I wouldn't have it any other way! I also built a sand filter to help remove detritus and keep my water crystal clear. I used to use filter socks but do I ever hate cleaning them. My sand filter is way easier to clean. Just open and close a few valves to backflush and it's done. It helps with bioload as it catches all the crap floating around.

Thanks. I'm really liking this forum.Welcome to R2R. Very nice video and your tank and tangs are beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I really like your tank!
Thanks! No I don't. This is kinda it I guess. I'll post a link to my YouTube channel. I've got tons of vids of my tanks and builds over the past few years. Here's the link.Awesome I love it! Do you have a tank thread here at R2R yet?
