very nice ha - got the first post in

I always wondered how the heck do people clean glass when the corals are growing tight up against it. With your tank being acrylic it's got to be a real challenge, so just how do you clean around that nice pink tabling acro?

great tank - now I'll go read the article

A MUST see in Bangkok!

A MUST see in Bangkok!

Congratulations!

I had the amazing opportunity to visit Thailand last summer, and an even more amazing visit to see your tank.


I can truthfully say it is the nicest tank I have ever seen....or I should say...tanks, as your softie tank is utterly amazing also.

And thanks for the Siam reef Club hat, I had it on today coming back from diving...is my 'boat" hat.

And anybody waffling about taking a trip to Thailand, get off the fence, and go. I had the best vacation ever in your country. Three and a half weeks of the best food I have ever had, and wonderment on seeing your country.

This is one of my personal favorite tanks I'm glad you got TOM but IMO it's more like Tank of the Year!

 

[macreefster]

the quality and beauty of the TOTM's never cease to amaze or inspire me and this months example is no exception. what a beautiful display of healthy and colorful sps corals and clams. i sometimes get criticized for overcrowding my tank with corals, but when i continually see such beautiful tanks with wall to wall corals it inspires to me to create the same type of coral density.

congrats chingchai, your tank is more than worthy of this months TOTM!

Just sick.

 

[Questin]

Wonderful tank, I hope the after effects of the cyclone do not come in touch with it.

 

[pwhitby]

very nice indeed, well deserved.

[wiscsaltwater]

where did you get and how long have you had your gem tang, im willing to pay the price but i cant find one within 2000 miles of wisconsin...

 

[slumpysix]

Stunning, truly an inspiration to the reef community.
Congrats!

 

[dattack]

Awesome. I was wondering if you see any amount of bowing using acrylic and rimless?

 

[MyMonkey]

Stunning! Absolutely stunning. Color and growth are amazing on this one.

Thanks.
Yes,it is real challenge to clean my tank. Very difficult.
If I have a chance to establish new tank, I will do more open aquascaping.
That pink(red) tabling acro are already attached to front panel. Can't touch it anymore or it will break down.

Gooli. Thanks.
I am not very good on identifying coral's name. I think it is milli.
If not, anybody tells me what it is.

Thank you.

What an amazing, beautiful system! I cannot believe my eyes! My first question is how do you keep an acrylic tank so clean??? I mean there are no signs of any coraline algae at all???

Very nice tank, got a question though, are there any problems with the angels?

Thanks.
My two angels(Interupta, Resplendent) are quite friendly to my corals.
And I will not add any more angel in my tank.
Two is enough.
