Or, you could move to Hawaii, get a beach house and run continuous sea water into the tank. Use the ocean as your sump. LOL
Actually, the Waikiki aquarium uses water pumped in from the ocean.Much cleaner and pristine looking water than ours.
If I lived on waterfront property in White Rock, I would do a large coldwater tank and just pump in sea water directly into the tank and overflow directly back into the ocean. Wouldn't even need a filtration system. ( this assumes the intake would be at least 10 feet below the surface of the water, where there are very little temperature fluctuations, and hopefully, less scum)
