NEW MONSTER : Another Monster Journey : Setting Up Monster 600 Gallon

[michael]

Looks like its coming long great Li.. Just asking and I know those barras are prized fish to the max and worth tons of $$$ but if only those 2 fish... just curious why so much $$ on filtration. i mean i do know this is monsterfishkeepers and all but just curious if you are adding more fish or? Personally I plan on just turning a 180 to a sump with a ton of bio and UV with at least 10X turnover but I plan on having like 30 X 15"+ fish in my tank with a drip system

Li just has a lot of extra cash from his fish porn sites that he has on the side...

besides this is MONSTER FISH KEEPERS .com and if you have the extra money GO BIG or go hang out on the wimpy fish forums

i think the only over kill part of my filtration is the ultima 6000. shoulve went with 4000 or 2000 model.. so i overspend about $400-600 bucks ... and yes i will keep only 2 fish in the tank..

Its also always nice to give yourself more options just in case something else comes up...

Single 90 + single union valve




Double 45 + single union valve




Flex pcv + single union valve (will be added near bottom)
