Hi Ralf,
My fiancee and I have been very inspired by your tank and are planning on designing our next tank like yours.
I would like to know more about the panels you have mounted to the wall on the front side of the tank. Where did you get these and what are they typically used for? I like how nice and clean it makes the tank install look. Also how hard was it to make these panels hinge for your front access to the tank?
We are in the US so I am sure we can not get the exact panels from the same supplier but would like to get something similar. I have checked our local home supply stores but thinking I might have to look more in the office furniture suppliers but unsure.
Thanks,
Scott

Upps, I read the PM first and answered there 
.
Short form for the others: I let a carpenter build the pannels, made of a syntethic material (feels like the stuff kitchen cupboards are made of, if not made of wood).
Each has a steel shadow gap around it.
A wooden frame is attachted to the wall and the pannels are mounted (removeable) to that.
Best,
Ralf

I hope you don't mind me posting a pic of your fish from your TOTM thread.
Where did you obtain this specimen?

Hi all, again a very late post... I was offline for quite a while...
Thanks for all your replies so long!
speckled trout,
hopefully you're still reading here ;-)
I bought the foxface in a local store. At date of purchase it was about 20cm long.
Now, 2 years later, it's more than 30cm and the red,yellow,orange colours are still as
powerfull as on the pictures.
If stressed or at night, the black "saddle" is divided into 2 parts.
(you can see on the picture where it splits (middle from top down).
It starts to like my hands, if doing maintenance in the tank... Nibbling at the fingers etc. and
due to the fact, that it's got poisonous fins, I hope it still likes me
*,
rest of the reef is also still fine, some more P. dispars (20 now in total, needed more NO3,PO4 ;-).
I added a new (small) 100x50x40cm tank to the system to have something for
quarantine ready if needed.
Btw. the Vortech pumps (motor sitting outside the tank) with batterie support etc.
are now ready to order in the first german shop...
Best,
Ralf

TOTY!!!!!!
That's what I was fixing. Should you notice that in the future with this, or any other thread, please forward the post notification email to anyone on staff here.Hey all,
maybe it was also me, sending you updates. I tried several times to post an update.
Well, seems to work again! Hopefully, this update will be taken as such and not ignored ;-)
sorry for not replying more early, but I was somewhat busy in real life and did not use my
computer for quite a while. (Strange experience btw).
tbone, the hinge system is from a furniture supply-store. Its a std. "liftaid" for furniture.
well, some actual pics?
here they are:
thanks for viewing,
Ralf
