I visited the amazing 17,000-gallon aquarium of Polo Reef by Andrew Sandler. This aquarium is possibly one of the largest private home aquariums in the world and it is the nicest reef aquarium I have seen by a large margin.

sulfur reactors should be ph controlled. Especially in such a large system. If the ph drops below 5.5 the denitrification will be very slow. The reactors i have seen in water purification plants were all running at 6.5- 7.0.

It has a very unnatural look and feel to it.

Edit: I should probably clarify - it is the fish.
Edit 2: I should also add Thank You for the video Tidal Gardens. Very clear, easy to understand, calm, when talking. Passion comes to mind. Thank you for sharing and please do not take my comment as a negative. I'm an active scuba diver so that is my perspective when looking at large displays like this.

Is it the amount of fish, different species? Just curious

Personal preference, scale. So amount of fish. I think I said it in my original comments that they did a great job and clearly love what they have in their home and meant nothing negative. Hopefully that make sense.
