Is it hard to get rare fish like that in your country, it is very hard to get them in South Africa but lately more exciting fish are coming in

very nice fish indeed.i bet they are expensive and rarely available
Have you looked into these?

I've read they will be making a 12,000 gph version that uses 90 watts and should cost around $700-800each
Here's a link to their Youtube page

Thank very much for the information. I will check them out :thumbsup:
You are right, they are huge but I don't think I'm going to use any sand in my tank, probably I will have only rock on the bottom from www.aquaroche.fr
Sorry to all of you guys for the late replay but I've been away for more than a month.
Thank you jmpickett !
Thank you jmpickett !
You are right, they look great but today I ordered extentions because they are too high and the light spreads too much on the sides.
Thanks for stopping by.
Maybe because of my last month diving experience I decided to have a lot of small fishes like anthias, chromis, damsel, wrasse and only a few tangs that I have allready.
Thank you

That black tang is awesome
Thank you very much. I had a problem with him few weeks ago, something white was coming out from the back of his left eye but now is ok. Whatever that was withdrew.
It won't stay still for a picture

After reading Chingchai's from Thailand and Peter's from Canada threads (not entirely, sorry for that) I decided to meet this two guys in person because everything they've done so far with their tanks and for this community is incredible. Also I'm sure many of you have done beautiful tanks and I respect all of your work.
My first opportunity to meet Peter arise last month when I read about MACNA on his thread (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1811725). So I decided to pack and to go there. My wife joined me on this unknown trip to Florida. I've told Peter (Nineball) and Shawn (Mr. Wilson) that I was going to come for MACNA to meet them.
I have also received a dinner invitation from Peter which invited all the people participating to his thread. Unfortunatly because I lost a connecting fligh in Detroit I couldn't make it for dinner
I thought MACNA was a much bigger show but took me about two hours to see it all. I also asked if there is another exhibition hall but there was only one.
Even if I was not impressed by this event I've met pasionate and nice people, but the more important was meeting Peter and Shawn to whom I want to thank for the really nice time we've spend together and for the warm welcome. ........and for the canadian whiskey:wildone:
Chingchai do you have a "MACNA" in Thailand because I definitely want to attend it and to meet you if is possible. Maybe Peter will join me too.
:beer: to all of you

Hello my friend. Great to see you are progressing on the tank. Now that I know where your build thread is I will never get any sleep 
You can add perpendicular plastic grid to the back wall for coral shelves and depth. It looks more realistic when you use uneven/broken pieces of plastic grid.
Another trick is to use spray foam to add texture and detail. Apply it in short squirts. Shooting it from farther away adds more texture. The cement is expensive and more importantly, very heavy so try to use styrofoam when you can.
You can also use PVC pipe to make a skeleton framework for the rock formation.
