For example, the death of the only fish in an 11-litre (3 US gal; 2 imp gal) tank causes dramatic changes in the system, while the death of that same fish in a 400-litre (110 US gal; 88 imp gal) tank with many other fish in it represents only a minor change. For this reason, hobbyists often favor larger tanks, as they require less attention.
A scuba diver at work in the tank. The water column was 14 m (46 ft) high, [9] held 1 million litres (260,000 US gal; 220,000 imp gal) of saltwater and accommodated about 1,500 tropical fish from over 100 species. A team of scuba divers conducted daily feedings, with 8 kg (18 lb) of feed-fish, and cleaned the tank daily. [7]
