50,000 litre tank in a boutique hotel (Bangkok , Thailand)

Hi sirichok, I follow this thread and it´s better and better. In my opinion, the best proyect of the year. This tank has the same base than Ali`s tank from Israel. He uses direct sunlight and NSW too.

Looking great! Retracting lights would be so cool...
Speaking of "cool", are you going to run any cooling with all those pumps and high ambient temperature in Thailand?

Yes I am running a chilled water system to bring the temperature down to 25 c .

Peeling the film wrap inside the tank making it a little clearer . The film outside the tank has not been peeled off yet to prevent scratches while cleaning the lobby area .

I am leaning towards metal halides as supplementary to the natural sunlight . I have been thinking of a mechanism where the metal halides can extend out when switched on and then retract when switched off . However still have not figured out how to do it .

Like some sort of mechanical arm? Surely something like that exists or could be fabricated from the right engineer!
