wow amazing fish . yes maybe technically overstocked. but to be fair i bet most peoples tanks are "technically" overstocked. i know mine is. but the fish are obviously healthy and i see you have some serious filtration there.

just 1 question tho with all thos externals would it not be easier to have a sump instead?

all the filters hold more media than a 6ft sump

45 liters of media + the sand filter

i just change the white filter floss in the pro3s every 6 months

i chean and change the internals every 3 weeks

i do 2 x 25% water changes per week

whats a sand filter? is it like some kind of variation of a ugf type system?

Love the tank, amazing fish .

"Overstocked" is a subjective definition, as long as the fish are healthy, which they clearly are.

I'd rather have less fish and more carefully selected decor/plants, but you are obviously more into your fish!

Looks great!

no its a external chamber were water gets pumped from the bottom throw the sand back into the tank

the sand is always moving giving you a massive surface area for bacteria
