i would guess alot of it has to do with being a 8ft tank and a fair amount of flow. thats alot of water to have to add daily i would def look into hrv for the house

for those still arguing thier sides to this debate here is my 2 cents and you can quote me on this ...who cares.... lol. the best way to solve this dilema of who is right and who is wrong is a duel to the death.. first person with a major tank crash loses. you have al said your opinion everyone has seen both sides and will still do what teh heck they want so there is no point. it may nothappen today it may not happen for 5 years. but whom ever is wrong will suffer huge losses. and will have no one to blame but themselves. there is no point in having a my tank is bigger than your tank conversation. when in essence no matter how long we are doing this hobby we all make mistakes with our ideas and ideals. noone is getting hurt here other that the OP whom asked a simple question and gets drama over tank envy or plain stubborness... that is all happy reeefing

and grizz i think ppl needmore cute puppy pics to calmthier nerves lol

Unfortunately the first tank crash would come from my side since my position requires a low bioload and everybody overfills their tank with pretty fishies. It also requires monitoring. It is like the anti-zeovit but with with all the -paying attention- still there.
