| If you read the comments on the video everybody says how messed up that is and how stressed the fish are. If they do this twice a day every day those fish would not look like that if they were stressed. | |

| That is pretty crazy and I suppose for such a massive setup like that it may be the best way to do it. If they are paying $1000 in just water month they must be doing something right haha.
I think I will stick to bio filtration and 50% water changes lol. | |

| You do think they would have a recirculating system. Save on water and you would think could maintain the same water quality. | |

| This is insane. I would say it couldn't be healthy but the fish definitely look healthy. | |

| Operations like this do daily (or more frequent) 100% water changes and the fish grow more quickly and are healthier. It is not a very practical way for the average hobbyist, but when you are not trying to cycle the tanks or maintain a display, but simply keep the fish as healthy as possible to get top dollar, this is how you do it. | |

| wow, I like how they empty, but how far they tank it down is a bit much, I don't like seeing them on their sides either. The force of the water going back in seems a bit much do it must not harm them sense their fish do look great. hummmmm | |

| Holey cr@p those fish were literally flopping around on the bottom of the tanks. I wonder what water they refill with. Is it R/O, treated or a combo of the two. | |

| looks like a few of those discus should have holes through them with the amount of force they were tossed about from the new water. yikes!
sheesh and we at home can barely sneeze during a water change and risk losing a fish!!! lol | |
