What a wicked build! I just lost one hour of my life going thru this post (and skipping a few pages!).

Do you accept visitors? I'm coming to Thailand next week for a month.

Gujustud. Thank you.
You are welcome to see my tank.

OMG. this tank makes me feel silly for admiring my tiny tanks lol. This definitely has inspired me for my future tank projects. Thanks for sharing your awesome creation with all of us!

i think i have an acan quite similar to this. is it mostly tan and darker brown? some days or mornings the tan will turn bright mint green but other days or evenings it seems to stay more tan. strange acan but i like it.

Chingchai, my build is about to start but a question came up that I don't know the answer to and thought you might have an opinion or anyone else on this thread. My tank is around 25ft long and is visible from both sides. I am just about to have paneling installed over the top of the tank and the cabinet maker wants to put in teak. Is that the best choice and what should be the recommended finish? There will be a large aerated pipe running the full length to create negative air pressure so that humidity should not be a problem (I hope).

any advice would be welcome...

You mean this one:

Mine has this color all the time. Never change.
I got it since four years ago. Very hardy.

Peter. 25ft long tank.
That is very huge.
I am excited to see your tank.
Let me know when you start your thread.

Teak is a good choice but it is not my taste.
If you choose teak, no need to cover with any finish.
Just paint it with lacquer.

I am interested in the aerated pipe. Do you have any picture or detail of it?

 

[nineball]

Thank you very much Chinchai, Its not my taste either but other decisions made by the "decorator" (my wife) make the teak an obvious choice.

You will be the first person I will invite publicly when I start the thread. I am honored to say that I have been heavily influenced by your discipline and method. With the display tank open on both sides I will have close to 50 feet of viewable seascape. I have delayed opening my build thread until the surrounding renovation has been completed.

I have been taking lots of hi res pictures and I will have some of the pipe archetecture shortly.

By the way, I love the underwater shots. Is it difficult to do?

Thanks a lot.

The underwater shot is easy.
I select mode on the camera to underwater shot mode.
Then put the camera into the water, aim and shoot.
That's it.

Can you tell me if you use ozone with ORP controller or you run it 24 hour/day ?

 

[KafudaFish]

I know you have heard it a million times but this is the most impressive build ever.

It looks like the tank is waterless and an artist made the reef because it looks too good to be true.

omg! your acan collection gave me the chills:eek2::inlove:

 

[succulentsalad1]
