Today I went to inspect the tank. One hour drive from the city.
Small factory though, but excellent work.
It is almost ready to deliver. Could be next week.

When do you anticipate transfering your corals? Where is your other tank in relationship to this room? Up the stairs?

I expect to move all corals and fishes in the next three month.
The other tank is just on the opposite side of this room. Very close.

how do you think clean the tank from from inside?

have you ever think about an algae problem? i think the tank its to dificult to clean the front view becouse the height unless you already solve the problem.

Wow very impressive tank 2" thick acrylic man that thing must weight a ton or two. So any plans on keeping the old tank up or are you going to focus on just this one? I love your other work of art (tank) and have been following its progress for awhile now.

I will focus on this new tank.
The old tank is way too crowded, that's why I want to move to the bigger tank.

Which tank you have been following the progress?

Simply amazing ching, I am very happy with a 250G build. I can only imagine how you feel with the size of your tank. Very thought out and I cant wait to see the end result.

Hi, Ching,
It's really a impressive tank, and let me so excited to waite
the next generation of this field to show up.
After watching the pics of the new tank, there is one question
popping up from my mind.
The interval space on the top of the tank looks not fitted with
your light arrangment. Maybe, it's just the problem of different
angle of the view on the pics.
Anyway, I do appreciate that you give me the chance to
experience the valuable future.

You should check out his other tank. You can't even dip your hand inside the tank without breaking corals, but they still managed to clean sides of the tank.

Ching,

Your acrylic contractor did a very clean job on that tank. I don't see bubbles on the seams.
