DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

[jmaneyapanda]

My probe box:

You may want to reconsider having your probes in such proximity. Many probes, such as a pH and ORP probe can interfere with one another when close.

What is the flow rate through the probe box?

I can only see one pvc pipe and then some tubing that may or may not be connected.

If the flow rate is rather slow, i can see a potential problem with the temp reading.

Great job otherwise.

Looking Good!

Do you have any more pic in high res?

 

[Hookup]

Does the GHL get too hot/overheat in the box you made? I like that idea a lot but worry on heat vs electronics.

ECO-lamps are built!

jeff1225. Thank you.
Maxspect, light intensity is good but the fan is very noisy.
I prefer Eco-lamp.

Changchai, I am with you on the Eco-lamps. They are built way more solid than the Maxspect! After seeing yours on your frag tank I bought one for my 90 cm long tank. It is a little bit $$ (a.k.a. lots of Thai Baht) but well worth the price IMO. I know lots of people are curious about coral growth with the LED and you stated you received more coral growth with the KR-92 than with the T-5s. Maybe you could run a thread documenting this. Your tank is such a quality build and the tank variables are exactly the same except for the lighting that one could not argue that LED's are not ready for 'prime time'.
On a separate note, I am stopping through Bangkok next Sunday and may or may not stay over night. I will find out more this week and will shoot you a PM to see if it would be possible to see the tank.

Hi Ching
I´ve read that you are running led lamps.
My aquarium is 100cmx100cmx60h(42"x42"x24")
So my question is
How many lamps would I need for my aquarium?
What do you think?
Are you happy with that lights?
Thank you for your reply

btw your system is amazing

vstpanek. Thank you.
I am happy with LED lamps.
For your tank, you need two set of this model.

changchai , i will be going to Bangkok in 2 weeks time ..... where is your place ?

near chinatown.

 

[chingchai]

Is that all you do???? Do you not vacuum it or anything

For the long run, this is not enough.
I just ordered custom-made gravel vacuum cleaner tool from our LFS. I will show you later.

Thanks for your advice. I will take it out one be one to check whether there is any interfere.

This is what I connect:

in

out

Yes, flow rate is very slow but temp reading is okay.

At the moment, I don't have it.
Sorry.

No heat at all.

Shakes. Thanks for your kind words.
I am not very good on doing kind of document or review product. Sorry.
But LED has a good potential to replace T5. Only time will tell.

You are welcome to see my tank. Just send PM.

 

[chingchai]

Yesterday I add blue LED to my softie tank.
The product is custom-made from Eco-lamps.
They do pop up the color of all corals. Strongly recommend.:rollface:

 

[chingchai]

only LED

LED + T5

Changchai, Custom made.... do they plan on offering similar ones on their website? How do I get specs and prices? (90 cm model)
The back of my tank is a little dark and that strip light would do just the trick. Especially if it came in a blue white combo or mixture of actinic spectrum LEDs.

You should contact this guy. Charles(charles@eco-lamps.com).
I am sure he can do whatever you want.
BTW, my name is Chingchai. Not Changchai.:eek2:
