When MACNA comes to a city that you would like to visit, you should take a week or two off work and fly over. You'll be glad you did!

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.

Thanks. CCking.
Yes, there will be gap between the top of the tank and the lighting.
I will figure it out when the system is running.

Ching,

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

You got sharp eyes.
I don't see any bubble too.

Oh Man, I really want to go to Macna.
Not only I will enjoy the show but I will have a chance to meet you guys.

Maybe not this year but I will go soon.

Your tank looks awesome! This build will be nothing short of fantastic!

New Jer-Z · 05/29/2009, 08:43 PM

This has to be one of the best build to follow. Completely addictive read. 30 Minutes well spent going through this Thread.

Great Build Ching!!

SuperR*, New Jer-Z.
Thanks.

By the way, today I met Julian Sprung at the Aquarama.
Seems to be a very nice guy.

You have that right!

Ching - you should try for MACNA this year. It is located where you can see what is to my knowledge the biggest SPS reef tank in the world at Atlantis (20,000 gal):

Come on guys.
We did have the same passion in this hobby.
It is just the matter of how crazy we are. Right?

Thanks so much for the link.
I admire that aquarium so much.

masmedic · 05/30/2009, 11:57 AM

Looks like an amazing build. I can't wait to see the progress. I'm surprised that with all the high end equipment you didn't go with the vortech powerheads.

Jay Fortay · 05/30/2009, 01:48 PM

Do they make vortecs for acrylic that thick?

I think they don't have it.
Even they can do special order, I still prefer Tunze.

MACNA is in NJ this year, Atlantis Marine World is in Riverhead, NY. about 3 hours away I would say.

Great build though. I'm very interested to see the final product. Love your previous tank. Looks like the tank is going to be a serious presence in the room.

Denadai · 05/30/2009, 07:57 PM

WOOWW !!

This project is huge

CanÂ´t wait to see this monster running

Best Regards !!
