DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

[chingchai]

So last night I was trying to help a local reefclub member aquascape who had some large colonies. I wonder if you have some tips on how you went from this

to this

in such short order (or what seems such short order). Were the rocks pre-drilled? Did you suspend them and then glue them in place? We did not have much luck with reef epoxy.

My friends are expert.
They really know how to do aqauscape.
No, they don't drill the rock.
Just stack them in position, glue them, and suspend some part of them with string.

I guess I understand the rock aquascape I just dont know a good way to mount the large coral colonies. Did you glue those as well?

I will take updated pics and post this weekend.

Sorry for my misunderstanding.
No, I don't glue large colonies. Just put them in proper position.

Hey Ching,how are you.Hope your family is doing well.
Since your don't glue the corals,do you face a hard time with your corals falling off due to snails or crabs.

Hi Haksar,

Thanks. We are all doing fine.
Some of my corals do fall off sometime but not often.

Youre going to add 5 achilles to the existing group?! Didnt you lose one to aggression already? Good luck, these are VERY aggressive fish, and with established ones already, I hope you dont have problems. :

Thanks for your warning.
I do realize what I am doing. It is a big risk and not a good thing to do.

 

[chingchai]

Chingchai you thinking about getting another blue spotted jawfish?

At the moment, no.

No, I don't use bio balls.
