Beautiful! I also am very happy to hear that the problems in Thailand are more under control now.

One question: the carpet anemones are really beautiful, but are known to be a danger to fish... Aren't you afraid of that?

Tanu. Thanks.
Yes, somebody said carpet anemone can eat fish.
But I believe they will harm only weak or dead fish.

Guys. Thank you for your kind comments.

Chingchai, I have followed your build with great interest. Your set up looks great, and your thread has taught all of us something. I'm glad the political situation is stabilizing, and particularly liked the picture of the gem tang, that is a fish that most of us in the US will never see in person! Thanks for sharing.

Anthony. Thanks.
So far they are all well behaved.
Centropyge resplendent is the best option.

Gosh every time I see your tank I am just amazed. It looks so nice I could only imagine what it looks like in person. Also great photography!

Finally! A couple weeks ago I stumbled on peters thread, which is a fun build thread to watch. At his recommendation I began your thread from the beginning. Took a long long time but read every bit. There is nothing I could say that hasn't been continuously repeated over the last 200 pages. I will just say that your build is unbelievably inspiring, from the quality of the build, to your coral selection, fish selection, and passion for the hobby. Thank you!

is there something up with the webcam i cant view it.

 

[Mangodude]

WOW! You make me jealous every time! Your tank is absoluetly gorgeous! When will you reach the maximum stocking capacity?

Thanks

Hi Ching, impressive tank!

What do you use to attach/glue those big colonies in the rocks?

Hello Mr Ching,
This is the first time I am posting a comment on your forum. I read and looked at all the pictures and to tell you the truth I had to pick my jaw up from the ground. Your tank is a piece of paradise. I would certainly like to have this tank in paradise! Simply superb!!!

Hi Chingchai,

In the feeding video, there is a crustacean on the sand bottom that joins in the fun about half way through the feeding. Can you please identify it? Has it been well behaved around your corals and fish?

Sincerely,

Hesham
