DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

[chingchai]

Chingchai, im curious to what coral prices are in thialand, if i were to purchase that many corals here it would cost tens of thousands of dollars

It depends on what kind of coral.
For SPS, it is around US$70-100.
For LPS, it is around US$50-70.
This is from Indonesia.

But coral from Australia is more expensive.
Say US$150-300.

My wife took this picture. I don't know when.
Just want to show you guys how hard to place coral in position.
Almost got sunburn on my back.

I know the feeling of sunburn, due to 150W MH's only.

The pic shows the measures of the tank pretty well.:spin2:

Riddle solved. I'm sure a lot of us wondered at one time or another how to go about placing your corals.

[chingchai]

FTS. Coming soon.
Please let my fish guy clean the tank first. He is so busy at the moment. Too much work for him.

No, the bulbs are in good shape.
But it turns to be like this.
However, most of them are still working.

Good to hear you didn't have a disaster with the bad bulbs. I hope the replacements work out for you. I feel bad for recommending a bulb I have never used myself, but that is the problem when you are a pioneer in the hobby.

You have mastered the art of enjoying the reef, fully understanding it will never be finished or easy; this is the hardest lesson :beer:

Please don't feel bad.
I appreciate your recommendation.
Everything can be fixed sooner or later. That's what I expect from Aquastar.

No change in the color temp.
But I don't know how long the bulb can last.

Ching,

Regarding post #5665, what is your method for placement, maintenance, etc. for the specimens on the sandbed and/or lower down than your reach from above ? My apologies if you previously covered this information, if so my excuse is simply one number ... 5665 !
