Marine Depot Featured Tank: Matt's Fully Loaded 300 Gallon Mixed Reef
Reef tank 9 years ago 131,580 views
In this episode, we take a close look at a 300 gallon mixed reef aquarium with one of the most impressive and diverse population of fish we have ever seen in a home aquarium. The owner is a self-proclaimed fish collector named Matt from Manhattan Beach, CA. We were lucky enough to visit Matt's home and film his vast collection of fish and see how he keeps the tank's bioload in check and still manages to keep a variety of healthy corals. You can check out all of the equipment, get a full list of animals and see how Matt has such great success by visiting his Featured Tank profile of our website: http://goo.gl/lla5h7 If you would like to have your aquarium featured on our website and in a future Marine Depot video, please contact us! We'd love to hear from you: http://goo.gl/StcsGk If you are looking for links to buy some of the cool aquarium equipment Matt uses—like the EcoTech Marine Radion XR30w Pro, VorTech MP10 & MP40, Maxspect Gyre XF150, Kessil A360, Korallin BioDenitrator, Seachem Matrix, Neptune Systems Apex AquaController and AquaMaxx Media Reactor—you can find them all here: http://goo.gl/lla5h7 If you would like to read a written transcript of this video, head over to the Marine Depot Blog: http://goo.gl/ckizBU
With that said, it's overstocked.
With at least 48 fish in there, there are well over 300 inches of fish, and that's not even taking into account that there's far less than 300 gallons of water in the main tank with all the rock. I know the inch per fish rule isn't the ultimate rule. But at least 350 inches of fish in roughly 230 gallons is pushing the stocking limits in my opinion. That's not including including any inverts either, just the actual fish. Even if you can control the bio load, I'm simply talking in the fish's terms.
Once again, truly amazing aquarium, a little overstocked.

For beginner corals, I recommend mushrooms, leathers, and zoanthids. These soft corals are generally easy to keep and will look great in your aquarium. A good clean up crew will benefit your reef tank and I like Trochus and Nassarius Snails along with a few Hermit Crabs. Stay away from aggressive/non reef safe shrimp and crabs (Arrow Crab, Camel Shrimp, Teddy Bear Crab, Emerald Crab, Etc.) they can be a real nightmare.
