I currently have in my 210 gallon tank with sump and huge skimmer 200+ pounds of rock... tank has been running for 1+ year
7- inch Queen Angel
5- inch Emperor Angel
7- inch Blonde naso tang
5- inch purple tang
7- inch crosshatch trigger
7- inch all golden puffer
5- inch stars and stripes
all fish in tank, Sounds like alot of fish but my nitrates test out 0 each time.
I like Triggers

You have some gorgeous fish in there, without question. But that tank is going to be way too small real quickly. You've got several fish in there that are going to be monster-sized.
Rate it? OK, you asked...:D
On beauty: 9
On filtration skills: 9
On giving enough space (current): 6
On giving enough space (in 2 yrs.): 2
Remove 3 fish and I'll give you all "9s"! :)

I do have to call BS on the no nitrates thing. your nitrates at a very minimum would have to register at 0.01 or higher because you have living things in the aquarium. even if you had a 1 in hose pumping water out of the tank an da 1in hose pumping freshly mixed in on the other end you would still have nitrates.

Agreed, if you tested on a regular basis not just say....the day you put the fish in...sooner or later there would be some minor flux of your readings.
That is like saying a world class athlete's pulse never changes even when they work out...
Sounds like a beautiful setup and stock list. To parrot the other postings....PICS!!!

bugs and some coral don't produce anything like the bioload of even one of those fish... Althogh if you are pulling it off, nice! BTW, where did you find that all gold Golden?
