My 530gal fish tank

[miksbiks]

Hi everybody

I am new here, but my tank isn't, but here is a little building tread of my tank.

I started my thoughts about it in august 2008 when my old 260gal blew because of a fire.

It is 200x130x80cm 78x51x31inch, and have a 540L/142gal sump

Equipment list:
Skimmer: BK300 intern deluxe
Return pump: Red dragon 6500L
Lighting: 3 paradiso T5 whit 6 24watt and 2 led each and ghl moonlight
Pumps: 5 tunze 6101, 2 tunze 6080, 2 tunze 6045 and a tunze 7095 controller
Computer:
ProfiLux Plus II eX, Europa
pH-Electrode
Redox-Electrode
Conductivity-Electrode, Platinum
Lan modul
ProfiLux View II
View Mount 3
2 Powerbar 4X
Level-Sensor, Floater

I did run with ozone and DIY nitrate filter, bud I am also running bio pellets, and at the moment and I am using 1900ml.

I might have forgotten some things but ask or it will properly come in a tread later.

I got water in it in December 2008:beer: I want it to be a primary angel tank, but there are some tangs and other fish in it now.

Since I only can put 5 images in each tread, it may take a awhile:celeb1:

miksbiks, please check your forum formatting, as none of the latest images are available. Also, your YouTube link is not correctly formatted for other viewers. I would very much like to see the pictures of your aquarium.

Thx,

Thx for reposting. The part of your aquarium that extends from the wall, that is not directly under the lights, correct?
