DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

Not to sound random but whats oodinum ?

 

[Vili_Shark]

I am quite confident it is oodinium.
No, I can't take them out.

I think you should get a positive id on whats killing yr fish.

I'd also try to catch the fish and treat them in a QT after knowing what are you fighting.

tell me your beautifull achilles is ok......

Here is current pics of my tank.
Without fishes, it looks so depressed.

You know, despite the loss of most of the livestock. I have to say this has to be one of the best aquascaped reefs I've seen. Nothing to be depressed about. The colors, the contrast in shapes and depth, the vertical height and the negative space all lend to a well-balanced and vivid display. Considering the size makes it even more breath-taking. This is a milestone in itself.

No, they aren't.
I did lose so many of them in other tanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if the answer was "nothing" with all the planning that went into your new setup, but you never know.
B.

Good question.
The answer is I will build bigger tank than this. Seriously.

chingchai could you elaborate on this? I know you have your room set-up so you can view the tank while seated on your couch. Would you make it larger so that it fills more of the field of view, longer then? Taller? Or would you make it larger for other reasons, another LR pillar? More places to put corals, more fish keeping capacity?

Just curious, thanks!

My Condolences Ching.Don't worry you will get over it.
You are a nice person with a happy family.Just think it as a testing period.:rollface::thumbsup:

 

[ReefPug]

So sorry to hear about your fish losses. The rest is still awesome! It won't be long before you have fish back in the mix.

 

[Elliott]

this hobby is like keeping a beach ball underwater, it's a balancing act. sorry to hear about your fish, two steps forward, one back, but forward nevertheless

Ching Chai, Do you find that you get adequate water movement if you have all your powerheads on the back wall?

 

[paola98santana]

What I mean is:
The time I started this project, I think this tank size is more than enough.
But when everything is all set, it isn't.

The tank should be deeper, say 60" or more.
The height is okay.
The viewing space is too limited.
I should build this room in other place.

This is all just the thought.
Because I can't do anything more than this.
My pocket is already empty.

Haksar. Thanks.
Never know how to give up on this hobby yet.
It is more than obsession.

Ching Chai, Do you find that you get adequate water movement if you have all your powerheads on the back wall?

Yes, I am very pleased with the water movement.
Tunze 6305 is very poweful.
