WOW! I absolutely love your rockwork. It is making me rethink mine and maybe using that bonding stuff you used. What kind did your friends use to attach the rocks together like that?

ching,
Your rockwork has me rethinking my rockwork as well. I found the photo you posted...can you bond it underwater or does it need air exposure to cure? And have you ever used it in an existing tank?

Keep up the good work and keep the Penfolds flowing!

Thanks I was really curious because I'm about to move to Cali and really want to build a monster tank in my new house, and this one has really been inspiring me

U going to have a recreation of a man made wave-pool ready to bodyboarding..

Nice set up, How much time left for the 1st residents??

 

[lunker]

Marine epoxy will harden under the water.

 

[Marcelo_Brasil]

I use common epoxi, and it hardens under water too

 

[elijaher]

Chingchai, How much watts or power takes to run this beast?

 

[Carlos Arouche]

Chingchai,
Really congratulations for the most beautifull private reef I ever seeing in my life.

And it´s not even working... hehehe

Congrats from Brazil and Marcelo is right... you should try Brazilian wines...

My oppinion is that after your setup is ready... nobory will pay attention for the wave makers or Turbelles... they will disapear in the middle of this beautifull reef.

Yes, I saw that the refugium come back to the sump, but on the same part of the sump you have your "Skimmer in", which mean that part of this benefical micro fauna will be take out by the skimmer.

My preference should have a divided sump from where the "refugium out" will be on the "tank in" sump part and separated from the "Skimmer in" located on the "tank out" sump part. Like this the refugium water will go to the tank without lossing part of the micro fauna.

I think "Oldtimer" understand my meaning.

Pascal. Thanks so much for your recommendation.
