(I breed them as well)

Thanks. Yes, it is all plumbed together. All tanks drain into a sump through a 100 micron filter and algae scrubber. Also a skimmer and 40W UV in each sump. The sponge filters just add additional filtering and water movement. You can't have too much filtration when you are feeding this heavily. I do use frozen phyto as well, but it gets too expensive as I go through 4L off live phyto per day. I'm raising o's, blacks, percs, GSM, tomato, neon goby.
