I can only imagine what this cost in American dollars?

Very Beautiful, my goal some day when I'm rich
 
A highly impressive system. This system may be featured in our Dutch marine aquarium magazine soon.

I do not think however that the aposymbiotic octocorals, sponges and tunicates will thrive in these very clear, ozone-purified waters. You will need to pump in food around the clock to sustain them. I do hope you succeed in keeping them alive of course.
 
So happy to see that the QT is almost up and running. With it, you will finally have a nice healthy stock of fish in your display. Ching are you concerned that any residual disease or parasites are still in the main display and could possibly infect newly introduced fish in the future? I am unsure of the amount of time these parasites "diseases can stay in a display without a host? Any ideas? Also if there are any fish still left in the display, is there a possibilty that the fish still hold the "disease" but shows no signs of the illness but can still pass the infection onto new fish introduced? i have always wondered for example, how long ich can stay in a tank with no fish and still live without a host? Because I too have had a display wiped out by disease and wondered how long to wait until I could add fish again. thanks, T

Ching - That's a very nice tank next to your QT tank. Did you stock it with coral from the large tank that you just replaced with the 1000 gal tank or did you grow those from frags in the small tank? Just how big is this "small" tank anyway? It's very impressive.

Hi Ching, very nice for all your tank setting. But I am curious for the QT, which you may quite difficult to catch fish after Q. Will you isolate the fish by small container?

Just like I already said, I can easily remove two big pieces of fake coral.
No, I won't isolate fish in small container.

I also don't know exactly how long these parasites can survive in the tank.
But so far all fishes are in good health.
No sign of skin defect.

I will add new fish next month. Hope everything is under controlled.

IME azooxanthellae corals do better in clean, clear water.
 
Chingchai, do you think the web cam will be restored for the new year? It is a great way to stay in touch between updates..........
