DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

Ok, I finally have to post as well, hope you dont get to much of all the praise.

It sure is amazing, if thats even enough of a word for it. All the attention to detail and the clear plan and structure made it obvious from the beginning, that you will accomplish something unprecedented. But seeing it come to live is another thing entirely.

The most beautiful part is the dimension and your aquascape. It was already incredible when Sanjay did a similar scape, but your commitment to detail and a "clean" view takes it to another level.

I wish you wouldnt add millions of corals to make the technical stuff dissapper, there will be other options like already mentioned. The pumps themselfs dont really hurt the view at all, nor do the white pipes, they vanish in the background, only the black cables get into view, and you can easily fix that.

The view as it is right now really gives you a feeling of freedom, it looks like a perfect place for fish, great swimming space. The corals you already have will grow a lot in your environment and you will surely add some more. I just want to say, even in its early stage right now, it already looks perfect. You wouldnt even need to add more, but of course adding will still make it better.

It just shouldnt be too much. Everything I have seen from you so far, also in other threads (I particularly remember this "modern design" thread) shows a great understanding for design. I think a designer once said, its not art to put so much into something, so that no one can add more, its art to remove so much that no one can remove more.
Of course that doesnt fit entirely, but I think you get what I mean. The tank has to fit you and your view of designed living and I think its right on track ;)

So if your initial plan was to really put so much into it that the cables, pipes and pumps disappear, I think it would look like a common crowded wall again (fruitstand as many call it), and that might ruin the feeling of freedom, which the tank emits already.

Of course thats all personal preference and was just my opinion.

Breakerone. Thank you so much for your kind opinion.
You just say out loud my thought. This is really what I want this tank to be.
The fruitstand look of my old tank really annoy me.
Some of my friend did comment that why I have very few live rocks or too many space left.
I told them to wait and see when all the corals grow.:artist:
 
Ching, checking in after a couple of weeks & wow what progress. Love the rock work & your choice of fish; also that you are introducing them in large groups. would love to hear more about your plans for the softy tank.

Chalu. Thanks.
I will keep you guys updated on my softy tank.

Just a quick question. In a tank that large and deep, how are you going to keep the arogonite white and clean?
I'm sure people would pay to do the cleaning for you.

This guy will take care of all the maintenance.
Without him, I will not be able to have this tank.;)
 
Wow, this tank keeps getting better and better. If Thailand weren't already a dream holiday destination, it would be now!

I love those Apogon. With a tank your size, I've seen for the first time the sort of effect you get with beautiful tetra in a FW tank. Stunning. Keep up the good work!

Tom. Thanks.
 
me thinks that everyone else thats been trolling this thread is seeing thew best moments, fish going in and corals adding up. i guess its all downhill from here!

Don't know it is downhill or still uphill.
But for me, I am getting more excited everyday.;)
 
I was lookin at your tank and said wow ,amazing, etc. Until someone said hey cable is messing. Kind got mine eyes glue to those cable. Still outstanding tank.
 
Hello Ching,

Don't know it is downhill or still uphill.
But for me, I am getting more excited everyday.;)

Believe me when I say that us, mere spectators from this side of the screen, share that feeling too.

I really don´t know what to say more that hasn´t already been said so I´ll just say this: congratulations on a project well thought and well set up. I really like the hardscape and the coral placement, as well as the fish school you have chosen.

Like others, I´ll continue to follow this amazing thread and hope that this tank will turn even more beautiful and breathtaking as your last projects as well as if I ever go to Thailand, I´ll go visit you with a nicely aged bottle of Porto and see that piece of reef personally. :beer:

Please, keep us posted and thanks for sharing.


Regards,
André
