How is the up-keep on ultra big systems?

660g and find it super easy to maintain, less filter cleaning, glass cleaning, skimmer maintenance, etc

Well... I have a Red Sea 750XXL (200-gallons), and I don't do water changes. I've changed out maybe ~10% of the water in the sump a few times in the past year just in the course of cleaning - but otherwise it's mostly the same saltwater I started with over a year ago. And my tank is heavily-stocked, ie: 42 fish currently.

Good filtration is a must, a great protein skimmer is a must and a UV is a must. I'm also now running an ozone system which is making my water ultra clean.

240, 180, 75 and 29 on same sump. Hydros does a 7 gallon (1%) change once a day.

You're too kind. Here are some snapshots of the various corals in the tank.

I'm running an Ozotech Poseidon 200 that feeds directly into a Nyos Quantum 160 skimmer through the ozone intake on the bottom of the silencer. That's it - nothing more elaborate than that. I'm running it between 2.5-4 on the dial, which works out to about 60-88mg/hour of ozone.

have a pic of this setup? I have the Nyos 120 and thinking about getting that ozone generator.

I do, yes. The Poseidon is very light so I just command stripped it in-place. The air intake from the Poseidon snakes down off to the left side of the sump (pulls in air from the outside of the cabinet) and is sucked in by the Nyos 160 through the ozone port in the silencer. You'll want to replace the nylon screw with a titanium one. I run mine between 0.25-0.4.

sweet setup. Are you using an air dryer?

I had read an article in the last issue of coral magazine about a 17,000 gallon tank called the polo reef you can view it on YouTube.
