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

Impressive construction and built.
Seems like no matter how big you build, you always get to the same problems for water parameters.

A professional photographer would make the tank look even more amazing.

Next time in Bangkok, I sure will come to the Boutique Hotel.

I wonder when you brought a professional to photograph your hotel, didn't he take any photos of your tank?

Not really because the aquarium was still at infancy stage . He only took a few photos of lifeless tank . Now the aquarium has matured considerably . I will post photos soon .

Water parameters are getting better .

Temp - average 25.5 c
PH - 8.20
KH -8.5
Po4 - 0.02
No3 - 10 ppm

My next target is for no3 to go down to around 2 ppm .

The clams didnt make it? :(
 
I also wonder with that fish selection if sirichok plan, is for a fish only tank? Not only clams but all the soft corals and lps, I show in some photos, should have few chances to survive with those fishes, despite the massive dimensions of the tank .

All the soft corals have survived for 6 months with only occasional nipping because of the dimensions of the tank . I agreed that this would not be possible on smaller tank . The clams perished not because of the puffer but because we had problem of ammonia spike from new tank syndrome and overfeeding . We also lost a few fish in the process .

Also the undulate trigger fish with bad reputation behaved extremely well and did not bother any other fish but on the contary was chased occasionally by chromis fish due to territorial issue .

From my experience having both small and large aquarium , fish behave differently towards their own species and also towards corals .

Once I get my parameters stable , I will start introducing sps corals . At the moment po4 is around 0.02-0.08 and no3 is around 10 ppm .

I will introduce yellow coloured sps and try to maintain the colour for a few months and see what happen .

Like in the sea, corals survive all the attacks , impressive :)
 
Be very very careful feeding Caulerpa. If a fragment gets stuck between the rocks you might end up with a pest that is nearly impossible to eradicate, especially in your huge reef. I would strongly consider feeding other marine plant based foods instead. When I visit Thailand again I will definitely include your hotel in the trip! Keep up the good work! :)

It is certainly a concern... but with all those tangs constantly foraging, I don't think the caulerpa would ever establish, let alone go uneaten for more than 1 minute.

I would not be too sure about that. If it gets stuck between corals or in areas where the fish normaly don't swim, it might be very well possible.

The number of grazers definitely decreases the risk but I would be cautious.
