DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

For your comparison:
MH + Blue LED + VHO 454

Is that how blue the room looks when the M/h units are off? or is it a white balance limit of the image?
I had heard so much about how the led units are much more aim-able to limit light spilling out of the tanks like m/h do
 
Your tank still looking beautifull. Have you considered using plasma lighting. Tunze South Africa testing some plasma on there show tank and those plasmas quite powerfull.
 
Chingchai,

I had the pleasure of meeting and drinking with Peter and Andy at MACNA. What an honor it was and what a beautiful family Andy has.

I will be at Interzoo in May and hope to meet you. I know Peter and Andy will be there so I'm sure we will have the chance to meet.

The tank looks amazing as always!

Cheers!

Hi from Spain Chingchai,

You´ve an amazing tank but IMO it will looks better without so many LPS in the sand, more natural, but I imagine that you loves them as the number is increasing....

Concerning the majanos, the Acreichthys tomentosus is 100% reef safe and 2-3 will ends with your plague.

Ching,
truly amazing what you achieved!

I haven't thought, that blue LED differs so much from the blue VHO.
Personally I use a combination of different MH, blue and coldwhite T5s.
I recently replaced some few of the coldwhite T5s with pink bulbs from Giesemann to see some different colors (which worked to my satisfaction).
After having seen your pictures, I think about adding/replacing some blue T5s with blue LEDs. Hmmmm... Do you think that would add even more/different fluorescent effects? Do you consider it worth trying?
Thanks for your comparsion pictures!

Something completely different:
Do you have a plan on how to react to your amazing growth of your coral?
Do you plan to cut back the colonies, or will you remove some of them totally, letting the others grow bigger and bigger?

Compliments from Germany,
Ralf

Our experience with tomentosus is that they are absolutely fantastic with controlling unwanted anemones, but would disagree to call them 100% reef safe! We keep them in our reef not only for the pest control, but they are unusual and enjoyable to watch. But there are some species of LPS that the filefish will eat with enjoyment. We just have to keep them well-fed and choose the zooanthids and blastos carefully. The good news is that the filefish are easy to catch at night after they go to sleep, so if you add one and it starts to eat too many of your wonderful LPS, you can pull the filefish out rather than your corals.
 
Hi Ching-

I am new to the hobby with my first tank on order. I'm very excited jump in. I've read through your journey and wanted to use my first post on RC to comment on your achievements. Thanks for putting a smile on my face today!

I turn on the blue LED under the tank and on the ceiling.
That's why the room looks so blue.
