i was kicked out of this thread, but when no one is looking i sneak in to take a peak at this ungodly monster of a tank !!

Maybe the most ambitious and awe inspiring setup ive ever seen, or one of them - cant wait to see it stocked!

Is the rock work done? it seems like there is little rock for such a large tank - but more room for the big fishies to swim around!

Oldtimer. Thanks.
Look forward to seeing your new tank.
Speaking of fine wine, can you visit me sooner.

In due time my friend.

In the meantime, I highly suggest the following wine. I just had a glass and it's a fine red wine - rich & spicy with a clean finish. Tablas Creek 2006 Côtes de Tablas... http://www.tablascreek.com/cotes06.shtml Not to bad price wise either, $21 US at my local market.

Nothing like pairing a fine wine with a fine reef tank! Cheers.

I think Ching said it him self...

" Life is too short to drink bad wine "

:lol:

I've never had the two buck chuck but the father in law swears it's the best wine. some of the cheap wines are just as good flavor wise as the more expensive ones ime.

Looks amazing, Do you have a FTS? And is this all the rock or are you adding more tomorrow?
Keep the pics coming!

Here is the FTS taken today.
Due to limited space, I have to use fish-eye lens.

I mean people yes. Are going to add more rocks later? How much so if you are. Such small amount of rocks. Will you be added frags? I assume you will be empty your current tank to this such lovely tank. It really be fun to add frags and see it grow something nice.

Yes, I will add more rock today.
I definitely add some frag to see how fast they can grow in big tank.

What is the total weight of the rocks,so the egg crate is to move the rocks is it.That's a good idea.

Hope by the time I reach there your corals will be laid

Let me finish the rock work and I will estimate the total weight.

Ching, my compliments. Never seen a perfect setup like this. Looking at your previous tank the livestock will add to that even more.

Good luck with the further build, and I hope I can visit someday.

Leonardo

Leonardo. Thanks.

Hi Ching,

How sturdy are the rock structures? You mentioned they risk toppling over without water in the tank: Is that because the bonding between rocks had not cured? I'm wondering if the structures will be sturdy enough when your wave boxes are turned on.

Thanks for the great pictures and regular updates!

-James

Hi James,

They will have to make the rock structure as sturdy as possible.
I don't want to take risk of rock collapsing. It will be a nightmare.

HI Ching, about the prodibio products, did u mix both bioptim and biodigest together before you pour them into the tank or you separate them (pour biodigest 1st follow by bioptim) and pour into your tank?

By the way, nice setup and gorgeous tank over there! One day, I shall plan to visit BKK as well as visit your gorgeous tank =) Thanks for sharing all your tank info and pics with us.

Regards,
John

John. Thank you.
I didn't mix both product of prodibio. I pour biodigest first and then follow with bioptim.

Hi Ching,

Your patience at answering each and every question given to you by all of us is really outstanding. I thank you for letting us share the build of this tank with you. For me, the most exciting part has always been the build and watching this one is amazing.

Nobody can kick you out of this thread. Let's be optimistic.
The rock work hasn't done yet. Could be next week.
