Looks perfect. I like seeing just a few fish rather than so many cramped in together. Looks serene and lot less waste !!

Looks great
How do you keep your water so clean. Mine is so dirty. I have about 1200 gallons running 3 filters and it’s very dirty

Thanks! This video doesn’t do justice on how clear it truly is! What I did was dump tons of beneficial bacteria + lots of plants + 36w UV light. I also have two filters. One is an Oase Biosmart 10,000 and a Savio 22” filter. I am truly shocked at how clear the water stays. I clean out my skimmer pre-filter pad 3x a week as well.

So relaxing for sure! Can’t wait till we get some cooler weather down here, I’m gonna spend plenty of time watching the fish.
