DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

[Garfield90]

Chingchai,
I'm travelling this next week to the U.S. I've been thinking of getting lumen bright Reflectors, are you satisfied with them? I've planned to set up 8 of them, that would be too much light but the depth of my tank is same as yours, so I think it would be nice.
What do you thing?
Thanks

 

[chingchai]

Any update on when you'll be posting the new video? I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

Eric. Thank you for your interest.
I do want to do the new clip video. Please be patient.
This month for sure.

 

[chingchai]

I am 100% satisfied with your aquascape as well :inlove: :lmao:

I have been planning a new system for months now and I wanted to ask your opinion on what you consider are positives/negatives in your own system. Thank you.

Kao Rop

Well, I don't find any negative impact from my system yet.
It would be better if you can let me know what you will use on your system.
So I can give you the idea of yes or no.

I am satisfied with them.
Believe me, there is no too much light.
Look forward to seeing your tank.

Sir
Maybe with Metal halide is different but white LEDs will burn or killl all of your SPS quick IMO if the par is too much.

Yes, you are right.
In case of LED, we have to shorten period of lighting time. Say 4-5 hours is enough.

Nice to see the Dussi arrived well, Ching. I saw it before it left Australia roaming around the facility and it's definitely one of the nicer ones I've seen. Photos/video don't even remotely show how huge he is

 

[Garfield90]

The tank installation is experiencing a short delay, but I suppose on mid august it will be finished.
I'm going to use the same lighting system as yours, except for the ballasts (Lumatek). This is due to in Spain we use 220V/50 hz voltage as you in thailand do, and few ballasts in the market can change the voltage.
I'll keep u updated!
P.S. how are the Leucozonus anthias doing?

Thanks. We look forward to seeing your build thread.
The pair of Leucozonus anthers are doing fine. They always show up.

Here it is:

Hello congratulations for these art work!:wavehand:

could you please tell me what are the actual surface area of the refugium part?
are you still using ecosystem miracle mud?at what depth?
thank you in advance

 

[MNewman]

Looks to be the setup...Very NICE

 

[Reef_Noob]

Wish my tank will atleast look as good as Chingchai's Refugium!!
It looks classy.

Amazing shots and videos as always. The colours of the SPS are just perfect and they look "ocean" healthy

 

[bullitr]

If Im not mistaken, Alki, I believe Chingchai replaced the miracle mud/Chaetomorpha in favor of a Mangrove style refugium ... Perhaps, there are two separate refugiums

Wish my tank will atleast look as good as Chingchai's Refugium!!

RN. Couldnt agree more ... Chingchai is the epitome of classy in this hobby/way of life !

More so than just from the way he configures/specs his systems

alkibiadhs. Thank you.
Yes, I am still a big fan of Miracle Mud.
The depth is around 4 inches.
