I am sure I will have some species tank if I have problem, but for now I plan to keep them in the same system. I tested and have keep Gigantea, Malu and Haddoni in the same tank without problem. Had problem with Magnifica so I have to sell the two magnifica I had for now. I just don't have the room for them. Once I got my system going and free up a lot of the smaller tanks, I will get a Magnifica or two.
I don't plan to have this system crash on me. Been there, done that and don't want to repeat it. (Huge system crash that is)

This is going to be an awesome tank Minh. With 36" in width to play with your aquascaping options will be plentiful. I am looking forward to see how you situate you carpets.
What about flow? Any MP60's in your plans? Two MP60's and two MP40's would be incredible.

Wait.. how small a tank is this...
To bad a ramping situation could not be made where you could ramp them up some based on their location. Kinda like the radion setup now. It knows where the lights are and in which order to simulate a sunrise/set. Why not to be able to modulate a ramp from 20 to 50% around the circle of PH's.

I need to look into it but I think with VorTech, we can control timming and speed of the PH. The Random Reefcrest mode is actually very good in tanks with excessive water movement capacity like this one. At least I intentionally set it up so that there will be excessive water movement at times. Calm at night and irregular movement during the day.

Whats the size of the return piping? Maybe you can get away using sea swirls with eductors for added random flow?

I promise I will update this weekend.
The fish room is semi finish. Water and electricity and drain is there, airconditioner system are all in. The tank is is level, fresh water test run finished. I drained the tank on Monday, will need a little more cleaning before fill it again with salt water. A budy will help me get 400 gal of NSW this weekend. My rock have been under the CC bay for the last 2-3 months. As soon as I get the water, I will put the rock in. Light rack is finish. I have the skimmer and Ca reactor and Kalk reactor, controller and dosing pumps for these two reactors all all here. All the Vortech and Radiom lights are here. I will use two remoter 40 g breeder for a deep sand bed and frag tanks. Later, I will also build a system for breeding clownfish. Ofvourse the coral, clams and anemones have been with me forever in holding system. I anticipate minimal cycle if any. All the corals, anemones and clams will be ready to go in very quickly. Essentially everything is here. I just need to get they are put together.

I use one of the dragon pump that come with the system. I have not look at the model number but it move plenty of water (I got the system used) Do you think you can help this weekend? With your back I don't want you to do any lifting but being there and keep me on task and cheering me on is important.

Hey Minh! Good to see that you're reefing still! I used to really be into clams years ago and did many posts in the clams forum...only have 1 clam now. I'm more into SPS these days.
Look forward to this thread.

Hey, I have been really busy so could not update this thread as much as I like.
Here it is. I just pull the rock from the bay (with some friend) and just pile it in the tank. No aqua scape yet. The light is not on but skimmer is online. The light there is just room light. As you can see the trimming is not done. Hope to get it done in the near future. The rock are full of critters, go straight from the bay to my tank. No cycle. I will so some aqua scape and add a layer of sand this week. I have to send one of my MP60 back to Ecotech for repair. My fault. I dropped it.

Now that I muster enough time to put the tank together. Update will be more often. Hard to update just a hole in the wall. There is just so many shot you can get on a empty tank and a hole in the wall.
