Now you are just bragging!!! Haha, just kidding, beautiful as always. What's the grouper/anthias looking fish that shows up at 0:15? It's new to me.

chingchai, what do you use for lighting?
do you know how many fish you have total?

 

[chingchai]

I heard a silly rumor that your tank had crashed...I'm so happy this is not the case! You have been a major inspiration to me and so many others...keep your head up...it will get better! You have an entire reefing community behind you...we all take hits...but rebuilding/making it work is part of the thrill.

I've developed a slight obsession with NPS and plumbed 2 30g tanks into my main system to implement as display macro fuges/nps/gorg/softy tanks. Do you have any updated pics of your NPS tank? Any special advice for their care? I'm building a d.i.y. continuous feeder to make sure their needs are met.

You inspired me to turn my system upside down...lol...I'm taking my 40B DT in the SPS dominant direction...

Please don't give up...I talk about your tank constantly with a few local reefing buddies. One day I hope to build a system like yours.

Also, how are you liking the profilux? I'm debating between upgrading to it or the apex and having a difficult time deciding. I recently purchased/installed the GHL Mitras over my 40 and am very happy with it's performance to the point that I'm considering their controller and dosing system. Which is why I'm asking you.

I'm also hoping to attend Macna '13 after I heard that you are attending.

Sorry for so many questions, but I really respect your opinion and am very interested in your feedback. Please keep us updated...

MGE. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Well, tank is not crashed but not in good condition. That's why I have to do something to make it better.

Regarding to NPS tank, it is too difficult to maintain.

Profilux or Apex, I have to admit I am low-tech guy. You just choose the one that has updated version.

Look forward to seeing you in Macna as well.

All the best,

Awibrandy, Pushwood.

I use MH+VHO+LED.
Total of my fishes should be around 100.

I don't know how you keep making one of the best reef tanks better but you keep doing it. Excellent work, good luck on your new project.

 

[Sps Dream]

Good luck ching, you'll deserve to drink goog champagne after you finish the job.

 

[Seamatt]

Hey chingchai,

how's everything going on with the new rocks?

I have some questions maybe you can answer them:

1. you place the corals pretty near to each other. Where do you know from that they are not getting attacked or killed by its neighbour? Is there any "rule" or something? Because I can see that you sometimes even overlap some of them.

2. of course you made your person interesting by showing this project to us, so I was wondering, what is your profession/job?

3. Did you ever have bad parameters in your water like PO4 too high etc. and if yes, how do you fight it? Chemical stuff or water changes?

 

[chingchai]

NA. Thanks.
