Hello Ching,

This is Richard from Miami and like everyone else, I had a great time meeting you and your family throughout the durations of MACNA.

It's been a while since I left a msg on your thread but wanted to share it with your legion of friends and fans.

Your exclusive interview from MACNA 2013.
Questions were gathered from our local reef club FMAS who hosted this year's MACNA.

Enjoy!

You are very welcome guys. I'm glad you guys enjoyed. Most of you know the tank but do not know the man behind the scene so it was different approach that I wanted to go for.

Richard. Thank you for your hospitality.
Well, first time with an interview in USA. I was quite excited.
Hope I can do better next time if I have a chance. LOL.

You are being too modest. You did very well and next time, me and my crew will try to visit you in Thailand. Unless you want to visit again, I will take time off to properly show you guys now that I don't have to help out with macna lol.

By far the most beautiful tank I've ever seen. Ching, I don't know if anyone here asked, but I was wondering: is this tank open for the public to see?
I was very curious, because I will be vacationing in Laos in Dec, and I will be in bangkok for 2 days. I would love to have a chance for a glance at this thing in person. Even if there's an admission fee, it'd be worth it. LOL.
