DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

This is a truly amazing tank! Your planning and construction have been a pleasure to follow. Thanks for keeping us up to date on this great build! I can only dream of a system like this.

What is up with the user name and password? I'm curious...but not curious enough to read for 3 days to find this. If it was ever given. I see it now duh. admin admin unfortunately there is no camera.

I don't know what browser you're using, but I noticed that the camera doesn't work in Firefox, only IE. In IE you have to let it install the ActiveX control. I see it looks like they're draining the tank right now.
 
Just a big thanks chingchai for taking the time to post and share. Really awesome system your have created. People like you are what help advance this hobby more than any technical advancement.

Ching,

Great thread. Thanks for all of your patience in answering just about every single question that has been asked. I love everything about this build. I can't believe your LFS had all of those nice pieces to choose from. The colors are just amazing.

Yesterday, I was trying to figure out how I was going to acquire one of my favorite chalices. Now, I want to build a 1000g+ tank just like this one! Not sure whether to thank you for that or not : ) lol

Props to your designer. The two of you really hit the mark with a one of a kind build. I've been to Thailand a couple of times. Would love to see this on my next visit. You should think about charging admission so you can afford more of those nice SPS pieces you posted pics of. : ) I have a feeling you will be getting lots of visitors due to this tank.

Well done!!! Top notch!

Craig. Thank you.
It makes me feel good that my thread can inspire people to build a bigger tank.

Next time you come to BKK, just let me know.
We are all friends so no admission charge.

Cheers,

Absolutely fantastic build Ching! Thanks for posting the progress.

Although the prices may be very low, keep in mind folks that this is in Thailand. Add on the cost of getting that coral to the other side of the world in one healthy piece is going to add a bit to that price. You'd pretty much have to pay that guy to hold it just like that all the way...

You are right.
From Indonesia to Thailand, it is not far and less risk.
Also cost of living here is not high comparing to USA or Europe.

I agree, home is where the heart is.

Let me also congratulate you on such a beautiful and well planned system. I appreciate a well designed product. I can't wait to see it with fish and corals. I don't normally view webcam's, but in your case I think I will make an exception.

I'm hoping that you can answer an interior design (or perhaps a Bangkok real estate) question for me regarding your build. Conventional wisdom has a traditional viewing for large screen tv's and the like such that a person should sit/stand a distance away from the tv equal to about 2-3 times the height of the screen. In other words, for a 65 inch tv having a height of 32 inches should sit between 6-9 feet away. In part this is due to the pixel size, but a large part of this is also due to the viewing angles that the human eye is designed for. It would seem that the geometry of your room will in many instances (depending on how far you sit from the front door) not allow for that.

So here's my question(s): did you ever consider purchasing the adjoining building so that you would be able to view the entire tank length from a more narrow viewing angle? Or are you targeting a more "immersion" experience for viewing the tank whereby it fills your field of view (like an IMAX theatre). Or maybe this is just how it came to be, with no real intent for either of the immediate options (and there's nothing wrong with that; some of my best work has been sheer happenstance). My curious mind would like to be educated. :)

Keep up the good work.

Hal. Thanks.
I know what you mean for your question.
I also am the videophile.


But the problem is I can't buy the house next to mine.
They are not for sale.
People here love to stay in their old house rather than moving to the new one.
