Hi

just seen your postings = looks very exciting. i am in Pattaya myself and just planning my tanks, am a bit of a novice so any advice would be great, also where is the best place to buy pumps, skimmers etc. i am also worried as i plan a big tank but don't have where near as much space for the filtration system..

where Pattaya are you?
if your planning as big tank you better find space for a good filtration system.
Leaving for Sg today for a few days but when I get back we could get in touch if you like maybe
 
im In Thepasit road area, Yes would like to see what you have been doing and get any tips, I dive regularly in the area as well. I was also interested in using fresh ocean water and was wondering where you get this? I was hoping to keep the filtration simple but use of the large sump and the second tank which will have few fish and lots of corals and some greenery etcPlease PM me when back and i will call you

first water.
Had about 2 inches of water run in the tank to have a check on the bulkheads on the bottom of the tank for leaks.
Will be filling up the tank in a bout 1 hour more to have a complete leak test in the system. stay tuned.
