Thanks for the kind words. Just remember it took us something like fifty years(I think, maybe more) to win our first gold on home soil..........we still have allot to do in this arena but at least this journey does have a destination in mind!! Peter |

The QT is separate from the "Mars Bars" as I call them. One of the main uses of the Mars systems is to manage the coral to optomize the managed result in the main display tank. This I have learned from my friend Chingchai. Oh yeah, one of the bars is for raising fish candidates for the main display tank. I wanted to run geothermal and in fact had initiated a project when I was informed that my requirements would have been too great for the size of the footprint so I had to back off.......more on that one later!!

Hi Peter
This is truly going to be a TOTM one day. It's so nice to see a big tank thread from Canada. One thing I would like to ask, Did you buy your Rock from ORG or did you imported it directly? If you need any help with this build let me know. I'm just around the corner (Mississauga). We hobbies like to give a helping hand. Paul |

Wow Peter! This is amazing!!!! I love the idea of the L shaped tank with viewing from multiple levels.
What a great tribute and what a great trip this build will be! Cant wait to see it come together...

Your tank is bigger than my house. Loving it. Your home is beautiful too. Glad to see something like this in North America.

Good God, I just realized I have a 120G nano for a tank!
Are you using any local "reef" talent for this build (be it working or consulting) or is it all your baby? Tagging along... |

Thank you everyone, I am beginning to understand just how incredibly beneficial it is to have the honest enthusiasm and goodwill behind you on this incredible journey. I am trying to juggle 17 balls in the air at one time at the moment so my next attempt to share the progress is a wee bit later than I anticipated. When I get some uninterrupted time at the keyboard without the "are you listening to me or playing on the computer" tapes playing, I will happily answer the earlier questions. Also, in keeping with my disciplined approach to this journal, I would consider the opening of this thread to be chapter two. I did it that way because I realize that the Kernel of what I presented so far is too often the heart of everyones interest. If we are going to learn from this then like Chingchai, we need to go back to the begining......before the crane. The plan......I don't have Ching's access to the unbelievable graphics designer that he had so I will have to cheat a bit with words and pictures (which I have allot of). I did have a plan however and I think the issues I looked at will be helpful for some....even if it doesn't involve a fish room with 30 tanks.
Soon folks ...... reeeel soon. Thanks for your patience everyone, I know from experience on this forum that immediate gratification is a disease. So far your behaviour as a group has been classy and something to be very proud of! I'll try my best to rise to the high standard you have all set. Peter |

It is tough to do keep up with things in life and than to document takes even more time. Thanks for sharing.
