DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

[chingchai]

I have just finished reading all the way through this thread. There are few things more enjoyable in life then watching a master at his craft. I hope one day to make it your part of the world and see this tank in person.

There is nothing I could add that hasn't been said. Simply well done. Your dedication and overcoming burnout is an inspiration. Burnout is something every serious hobbyist encounters at some time, and it is nice to see it overcome.

I am surprised to say I agree with DNA that I think the tank actually looks better without all the coral on the sand. It seems more natural this way.

Jason. Thank you for your kind words.
You are always welcome to see my tank.

just a question how did you reattach corals I use two part epoxy but hard to get them to hold in place especialy with larger corals ?
Just want to say love this tank

kevan. Thanks.
Believe it or not. I didn't use any glue to attach coral.
I just place it on the proper position.
So I can remove them out anytime I want in case of the re-outbreak of manjano anemone.

 

[chingchai]

Wow that is a lot of work, but it will look so much better after this that it would make up for the time and effort you put in. Now I can't even imagine anything nicer than it was before, but I'm sure you will suprise us again.

Allmost. Thank you.
Yes, the tank is almost done and it looks quite okay.
I will post updated pics soon.

 

[chingchai]

did you remove the tunze wave boxes as well or just out for the big re-do??

No, I didn't remove any Tunze.

Although I enjoyed the original...thought it was unbeatable...I believe it looks better now.

Great Job!

Mission begins:
I start removing corals from the left side. You guys can see plenty of Majano anemone on the rock.

Don't know how many days to finish this mission.

Refugium is already full.

Mission completed.
Hard work, tough time but now I am happy. :beer:

Looks amazing! It must be a great feeling to have it back in place. I agree with the previous comments that the clear sandbed looks better (however I'd take your "cluttered" sandbed anyday )

 

[coralreefdoc]

Well done, Chingchai ! Most impressive

Much more natural aquascaping/coral placement as well. Sometimes blessings are disguised ... As majanos :spin2:

Wishing you, your family, and your reef health and prosperity in the near future :beer:

Very nice Chingchai! It will only improve when the corals get back their colors. Do you plan on keeping the sandbed this empty? I actually like this look but it must be hard not to collect all the nice lps and clams when you feel you still have space for them

Chingchai, I've been following your thread for a long time and have never posted. I really like the look of the new arrangement and the only other thing I can say is I agree with the last 6000 comments!!!
All the best!!!

Very nice Chingchai..your hardwork paid off.Tank is looking even better.
Did you add the old miracle mud back or you added a new bag.

 

[bullitr]

Sir
Are you planning to return all the LPS in the tank?
If your not why not try getting some rare large angel like Conspicuous, clarion and scribble angel?

 

[Reef_Noob]

Dear Chingchai...

Told ya!!! It will look even better after the re do...

Coral placements are looking really great

You and your system continue to be an inspiration, the aqua scape looks so natural and open, even though it is filled with your amazing corals!
