DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

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....

You are exactly right.
 
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

No, I didn't QT the fish.
Just acclimate them before introducing in the tank.
My temp is 24-25 celcius (75.2-77 fahrenheit).

With such an advanced system and attention to detail, aren't you concerned of an outbreak of of ich or velvet? It would be horrible if that monster display were to be infected with such an outbreak, b/c obviously it would be impossible to treat. Just my two cents.

Are you concerned that temp is a bit high for the interruptus? There is a great article on keeping a lower temperature and the success with corals and fish and I have to dig it up. T

I think if Chingchai can survive an elephant in his fish room he can survive a bit of ich without a problem. It boggles my mind that observations like this are made when the size and scope of this project have to suggest that some experience and knowledge must be in supply.
