Hi Dany!

In the last month I've been away a lot and I didn't have time for the tank and house.

I also have been in Nurnberg, Germany where every two years is a major european fair called INTERZOO. I went there with some friends trying to find things for my tank and also to see what's new. About the aquascaping I've seen some french company that I may work with ... we will see..

Here are some pictures from INTERZOO:

An update with the solatubes:

I don't know what is the price in the states but here costs a lot of money and I ordered mine about a year ago. Thank you.

nikon187 thank you!

melanotaenia · 07/27/2010, 04:18 PM

Wow you are not messing around with those fish choices!! Awesome! This tank will be awesome with that group of tangs.

Looks like a Martian planet covered in snow (j/k)!! but either way this is going to be fun watching it develop and mature over time.

bullitr · 07/27/2010, 04:38 PM

Wow that's a great first batch of fish!

Haksar · 07/28/2010, 12:06 PM

danyalexa · 07/28/2010, 02:24 PM

they are incredible pumps those , expensive but Tunze service is good , they had issues with some of the 6305 pumps but they have always rectified them at no additonal cost so a good company . I would just be concerned with small fish(cleaner gobies etc) getting to close to the strainers on those pumps but maybe it isnt an issue

Do you have a picture of your rostratum, i recently was able to get hybrid one and would love to see yours

Hi kinlayan
Thank you for advice. I am also thinking that small fish could get close to the strainers but I will try to hide the pumps in the background. These pumps are huge, is not going to be easy.
Right now I'm in Egypt and these are the only 3 pictures I have with me:

[IMG]http://i34.*******.com/2mig77.jpg[/IMG]
If you need more pictures please let me know.
I have never seen a hybrid rostratum but I think you should've get it.
Is it still available? I am very interested in hybrid zebrasomas.
Thank you very much.

Have you looked into these?

http://www.panta-rhei-aquatics.de/

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

Those Hydro Wizzards are HUGE!

Great idea but could cause sand storms in a tank of this size.
