I believe it comes from the pipe. The surface tension of the water makes the water colaesce and every so often, blocks the pipe. The pipe then goes into full siphon and as it does this, it clears the water that has backed up in the pipe. After it does this, the siphon breaks and you get a gurgling noise....

I'm speechless about your tank. all i can say at this moment is well done.

I'm sorry if this has been asked. But I really don't want to read through this entire thread to find my answer

The small fish you have. What are they? The schooling silvery ones.

Thanks!

Just saw the latest vid at vimeo. Wow!

Is that a Nokia N800 on the wall? Where do you use it for?

Keep up the amazing work Ching. The HD video is stunning :eek1:

Yes, it is in the refugium.

For your system, you just take out sand & crushed coral from your fuge.
And replace with Miracle Mud. Let it settle for one night. That's it.

Thanx for the info! TOTM for sure you've got my vote!

TOTM?? I'd say TOTY!

WOW! :eek1: I love your tank! How much do gem tangs cost in Thailand?

Ching Chai,

Good Job!!!!!! If I had a tank that size I would take advantage of the room in that tank for showsize angels and tangs. Put a couple show size sohal's or Naso's in their, that would be sweet. Great Job Again!!!!!!

Did you QT your fish before they were placed in the display? What temp are you keeping the display? Wondering because of the interruptus living in there. Great work. T

Totally understandable. And I really forgot to comment on your excellent fish choice. Its just that your tank is so large, that I thought you could probably add some additonal common fish to your other stocking plans just for the looks. I mean, everyone has then, but I have to admit that the colors of a powder blue tang or the bright yellow of a hawaii tang or the orange of anthias just add to the overall colorful impression of a tank.
A black tang or even a gem tang are rare and fantastic fish, but in an FTS pic you will most likely not even see them if you know what I mean.

Of course second to your personal preference it mostly comes down to who you are going to show the tank. If its about neighbors/friends and their kids, coming over to check out the fantastic tank, they most probably wont be able give the rare fish enough credit, because for them bright colors will stick out first.
Fellow reefers on the other hand will most likely be able to value your fish choice, but will never say: omg, you have a powder blue in your tank? What a waste

@ dantimdad: I have to say I dont know anymore. I believe it was an asian LFS and I found the pic in a thread focussed on non photosynthetic corals.

Breakerone. Thanks for your kind comments.

I don't remember if anyone has asked this yet but what software is being used to render those drawings chingchai?

It is 3ds Max.

Chingchai,
Absolutely one of the best setups I've ever seen. I have no doubt that it will mature into a beautiful reef. I have only one complaint, and it's a minor one about an equipment/stocking choice that you made. You live in Thailand and don't have a bottle of Singha Gold chilling in the beer cooler? Major party foul to not have at least a few dometic beers onhand.

On another note, my wife and I will be in Thailand for about a month in December and January. I had planned on spending all my time in Phuket and Chiang Mai but now that I've stumbled on this thread I may have to alter those plans to give me at least a day or so in BKK. I can tell the wife I did it so she can shop. If things work out I'd love the opportunity to see this tank in person.

Mike

Mike. Thank you for your kind words.
You are welcome to see my tank.
And I will arrange Singha Beer for you.

Excellent setup. I have a HUGE request for someone. It would be GREAT if someone took all the posts with pictures and explaniations and put them in a thread by themself so someone can see from beginning to end without having to filter through all the other posts. Just a thought. I love your tank!!

shookbrad. Thank you.
I will detail all equipment and specification soon.
