What made you decide to use all live sand opposed to seeding dry sand?

I choose live sand because it will help my system to be stable in a shorter period of time.
I also want to use live rock but I can't.
Doing aquascape in the tank is too difficult.

I love your choice in lighting. I love a tank with a more blue tint. 20ks are the way to go. What kind of vho's are you going to use?

I will use Aquasun 10000K from URI.

Dont test fire the lamps before removing the protective plastic. It will never come off

Love the attention to detail and that you are doing it so well right from the start.
Thanks for sharing!

What kind of controller are you running?

 

[chevellesteve]

just curious, did you ever consider using natural light?

Never.
I know why you ask this question.

Amazing build. Can't wait to see this come together!

Hi Ching, are the MH 400w or 1kw? If it is 400w do you think there would be enough par at the bottom ?

First time i actually see an aquarium made from 2 inch thick acrylic. Must admit that i am impressed by the obvious clarity of the acrylic, even in this diameter ! Price must be... even more impressive...

I dont even think it is possible over here in Belgium to find a manufacturer who can make panes 2 inch thick. Damn.

The build quality is also impressive from what we can see in the pictures ! Congratulations to the man who build this.

Could you ask him what type of solvent he uses ? is it weld on 3 or 4 ?

 

[strendo]

amazing progress, can't wait to see some water in it!
