Hi guys :wave:

First of all let me start by introducing myself...
I am Irwan from Jakarta, capital city of Indonesia, a thousand islands country, where is Bali located.

I believe Chingchai's Tank inspires almost all members in this forum.
From the planning to the implementation, from the diversity of the SPS corals to the collection of his fishes, the growing of the corals, the passion and humbleness to share, is remarkable.

I've been in this hobby since 2008 started with LPS tank, but since I saw Chingchai's Tank, I've been dreaming to have tank like him too. The use of crystal clear glass by my fellow reefer, Edric, influenced me to build this tank as well.

Last but not least, I want to thank to Mr. Lun Lun and his assistant, Heri, for all the idea and hardwork so this dream tank could be accomplished.

Enough the starter, let's start the main course!!! :dance:

This project was started November last year. It took exactly 1 year to accomplish it. What caused the completion of the tank is very long because I have to import almost all the equipment from other country and all should be as I wanted to be.

Yay! let me be the first to subscribe to this, another promising amazing thread. Can't wait to see the decisions you made to get here, and the maturing of the tank from here. I'm planning my own slice of ocean (300G DD tank, 600G system) and I love getting ideas from those who have already gone there.

I like the dimensions, I'm setting up a 96"x48"x36" Starphire reef. I really like your rock work, do you have additional info/pictures of the rock work?

OMG I'm stealing your Aquascape for my 60"x 24"x24" tank. I just took screenshots of it and am in awe. Nice job on tank and equipment list. Should be awesome. Looking forward to the updates.
