GlennF's 1500 liter mixed reef tank

[2_zoa]

The plan is to place al technique out of sight.

That'll be nice. I look forward to seeing how you accomplish that.

That tank is really sharp looking. I like the diemensions. I also like the way the euro brace was done. I think they look messy when the small pieces are put in on the short sides. Kinda makes them look like an after thought. Ya know?

Beside for mechanical strenght, they have another function. They prevent water from splashing over the edge when cleaning the display near the surface. i find that quite annoying on a rimless tank (my fragtank is rimless)

Last time i fragged 69 pieces (more full size corals) from most of the corals including this staghorn.
I spend 5 hours cutting and glueing it on fragstones.
Now it's already grown more densily packed than ever.

Perhaps that coral would do better in the new 20000 litre aquarium you are planning.

Only thinking about the bill for the lighting would scared the hell out of me.
Electricity cost here about 25 euro cent per kwh.

So true. I love the look of rimless but I sure enjoy my simple ready made 65 when it comes to that. The black trim hides a whole lot. My nano is rimless. I'm always chasing that water line.

with the sun hours in holland? that would be a total waiste of the investment.

i am glad in am not the only one...

They look awesome with someone else's tank, but require far to much patience for my taste. i hate spending to much time keeping it meticulous clean, as most rimless tank do.

Just to put into the right perspective
from branch to branch it is 45cm across

thanks!
many people believe this combination can't be done in the limited space of a reeftank.

i just feed the fish depfreeze mysis,pods. Also koi pellets and nori leafs for the naso and the scarus quoyi, coral get to pick the leftovers.
