My wife took this picture. I don't know when.
Just want to show you guys how hard to place coral in position.
Almost got sunburn on my back.

Hey Chingchai,

If ever you need a long reach to the "bottom" floor, please feel free to call me next year ... :lol2:!!
BTW ... did you ever consider using Radium bulbs instead of Aquastar? I think you're on SE pendants am I right?
And you're not kidding when you said you did the "planting"of your corals with all MH lights on .... :beachbum:? You're crazy man ....:spin2:

I have to back track to read what I've missed ... oh noticed that you've acquired the Candy Basslet specimen huh? BTW a big Congrats to being honoured again!!!!

Hi Ching!

Wow 1 billion times!

Tanks like yours are what make me continue and try to always improve!

Only now I read your post and I love it!

Congratulations!

I'm going to ask you some questions and sorry if you already answer earlier, but still could not read the whole thread!

Do you have any kind of Reef cleners?Crabs,Snails,Urchins,sea star,Ophiure?

Do you use any aditive like A,B,C of Grotech, or any korallen-zucht product?

I'm a fan of surgeons and you have my 3 favorites:Achilles,Black tang and Gem tang....Here in Portugal they are rare and very expensive(300€ Achilles,500€ black tang and 1800€ for Gem tang)
Are they also rare and expensive in Thailand?

Don´t you think that the VorTech MP60w ES Propeller Pumps are better than the tunze pumps for your system?

Finally, thanks for sharing your project and for answering our questions!

Best regards

Obrigado

Pedro

[Noypi]

holy cow this is my dream tank

 

[chingchai]

Sir thanks for another great pictures.
Paul tank is also one of my favorite tank
That's why I think SRC is the best !
Also do you think 300 mg of ozone enough for my 550 gallon system ?

Lawrence. Thanks.
300 mg of ozone should be enough.
How about your ORP level?

His earlier 308-gallon reef aquarium was featured as the Tank of the Month in May 2008. It was a truly gorgeous tank as are all of Chingchai's tanks.

I am happy that you gave me an excuse to post the link to his earlier tank in this thread once again.

Ninong. Thank you.

 

[chingchai]

Wow great fisheye shots Chingchai.
Do you have any growth pictures of your corals.

Haksar. Thanks.
No, I don't collect any growth pics of my corals. Sorry.

Pedro. Thanks for your kind words.
Reef cleaner: Cleaner shrimp, Sally lightfoot crab, Snail
Additive: No
Surgeonfish: Black and Gem Tang are rare here
Pump: I never tried Vortech MP60W yet. But I think Tunze is more powerful.

Cheers,

Paul. Thank you for your offer.
I will think about it.

Today I already changed my bulb to Ushio 1.4K.
The color is the same as Aquastar but I expect it to be last longer.

 

[chingchai]

Guys. Thank you for your kind words.

Sad news....

Sad news....

Another bad day of my life, I lost my second Gramma dejongi this morning with no reason. I don't even have a chance to pair them yet.
What should I do next?
- introduce the only one to main tank
- wait for the second one
- sell the first one out

I am really depressed.

 

[rpjaws74]

Awesome tank... but if you had the chance to change anything what would it be and why... just curious cause it looks like you have it all figured out.
