Wow, absolutely amazing.
I skimmed through all 136 pages tonight :O
I've got a few build questions for you:
1) Did you take the white marble all the way up on the walls to the ceilings in the main tank room? Or did you use another material on the walls?
2) What did you wrap main hood, stand & rim in? White acrylic?
3) You said you used just hi-gloss wooden panels for the sliding doors? Did you buy them like this or paint them with the high gloss white yourself?
4) Did you also use a high gloss white on the inside of all of the cabinets? It looks like you used good finish wood - everything looks perfect cuts & all.
5) What did you use to label all the plumbing & mixing tank? I think you said stickers, but did you buy them from some where or print them up on your computer or something?
6) Where did you get your sensor switches & what do they control again exactly?
7) How do you like the STICK with Phillips 8 color changing LED strip? (are there different colored LED's or does the single LED change multiple colors? - if so, what strip did you get exactly from phillips)

Hi Claudio,
There is no superficial organic on the main tank.
I adjust the direction of my Tunze 6305 to clear it on the surface.
My return pump (RDII) is controllable for high or low speed.
So water level is no problem.
Yes, I have enough space in the sump in case of energy failure.

Hi Mo,
I just use CoralRX to treat AEFW. Nothing else.
Red Bug, I prefer to blow it with turkey blaster.

Snow Leopard. Thank you.

It's pronounced Bone
Every Garibaldi i have seen in reef tanks have not lasted long, they are really a temperate fish. I love Carambis, how about a pair!!!

The cost of this setup can buy a sports car or either a nice house.
But I prefer to spend it on this small fish room.
Hope you can guesstimate the number.

As far as my wife is concerned everything is $20 when I get back from the LFS.

Why decorate the qt tank? it seems a little counter productive, a few bits of Thai pipe would have done the trick and they are easy to remove and scrub clean if you need to medicate., Do you have any fish in qt? I can look after your resplendant for a while if youlike
No way. I can't live with conventional QT tank. It is not my preference.
That's why I want to make it looks like FOWLR tank.
These fake corals can be easily removed whenever I want to catch fishes.
And the other thing, I won't try to use any medicine.
Here is the update of my QT tank. I am waiting for the sump to be installed.
P.S. Thanks for your offer on my Resplendent. But now he is so healthy in my main tank.:rollface:

agoutihead. Thank you. Maybe you skimmed too fast.:lol:
1. Marble is decorated on the wall.
2. http://www.staron.com/tempest/products.jsp
3. It is custom-made
4. Inside cabinet is plain white painting. Not hi-gloss.
5. My interior designer design the font and let the shop print it out.
6. I buy it from electric appliance shop. But we didn't use light sensor switch no more. It is not workable.
7. I am happy with this STICK+LED. It is not Philips. I don't know what brand it is. I will ask my interior designer for you.

WOW!!!! you sure do go above and beyond even for a QT setup... looks better then my main tank, haha... I assume those are custom made cabinetry? is it plastic or metal?
Awesome job updating everyone on your setup!!! :bounce3:
