Heejj chingchai, if you would add an uv-filter, which model or brand would you purchase?

Hi chingchai,

could you please tell us the thickness of your soft corals acrylic tank? I am trying to build something similar.

Also I saw from your photos that you use a Vortech pump for flow circulation on this tank. Is it an MP10 or an MP20

Thanks in advance

Sorry for late reply.
The thickness of my soft coral tank is 1.5 cm.
Vortech pump is MP40.

Hi Chingchai, since starting your 1000g tank you must be getting lots of visiters in Bangkok. Also few people from different parts of the world have visited. Can you tell me who have you met allready from around the world. By the way I just love your fish collection.

Hi Suhay,

I am very lucky to meet so many nice friends from around the world.
This is the small world. Right?

I already mentioned that I want to use Royal-exclusiv brand.
But their response is very slow.
So I think I don't need this anymore.

Time for the upgrade:
At the moment I am not quite happy with my lighting.
I think it is too blue.
Also I got the recommendation from Mr.Wilson for the new bulb.
So why not?

I change my MH bulb from Ushio 20000K to Aquastar 14500K

and now all my VHO is UVL 454

The result is good and well paid for.

I like the new bulbs much better,you do not see the ''blue'' tint throughout the tank,much more natural look.
Did you remove any fish from the display tank?

umm.... though the newer one may be more realistic...for me aesthetic pleasure lying on the previous one...but it's ching to make the final call...
