Shop i got my arow from had about 8 rays. they do look very nice, but again the keeping of them is a little more work. So how do you think they keep control of nitrates?? the fish wouldn't do well in poor water so they are maintaining good conditions.

Nicki you need anther tank mate.)))

Haha...I would need like 4 extra jobs to afford the filtration he has on that thing!

But it is cool to see the possibilities though! Makes me wanna set it up now! haha...gonna have to be really patient though...it'll be a while down the road before that one gets going!

No way is that tank 350 gallons, I wouldn't say it's much more than 125 gallons, doesn't look much more than 6 foot long, by 2 foot high, difficult to say exactly what the width is

As far as I know Eheim three professionals at nearly 24 inches high, unless he's using a different type. He looks like he's also using something like an underwater fluval filter as well. And look at the inlet pipes, you can see they are not far from the bottom. Somebody has got their calculations wrong here

Yeah after you mention that it does look much smaller...unless the guy is 8 feet tall! haha!

I wonder how wide the tank is? But you're right, it doesn't look 350 gallons at all. Especially if I stand next to my tank which is smaller than he says his is...makes me look small and thats a hard task! haha!
