Keep us updated master, im building same dimensions here, what is ur water level.

 

Very nice nice setup

 

Water level 13 inches and 1cm sand bed.Even though I left 2inches from the top for the wave motion but my fish alway jump out so be careful if you don't have any lid. Disadvantage of the tank with this dimension is the depth of the tank look much shorter than the real thing,can't saperate near and far dimension from the front side, another story if you from the top view so I always set up the tank from the top view, more realistic.

That's a good idea man but those two types hard to find in my country, just saw a couple of them for the past few month so I've plan to get a group of colorful anthias as the minor plan. :lol:

Not personally no but I know you have a swanky club cafe with a new mascot tank. How is it doing anyway. I just think of the Siam Reef Club as a model for how we in Canada could do things one day. I envy the tight reefing community you guys have. Your tank has focus on balance, colour, and shape, more like an art form. I feel you are taking what Takashi Amano (ADA) has applied to fresh water planted aquariums and transformed it to a salt water reef. Artistic form, not just placing corals where they will fit but truly thought out. Well done MasterMind, you are a master mind. Thanks for bringing this reef here to N-R. :D

You are too kind, I'm truely not that level, i'm only lower class compare to other people in siam reef club,There are many outstandind tanks in the club but they don't post out to other website,mostly fantastic SPS tank. Our club member have to give a big thanks for the club founder Mr.Chingchai (his tank has the most viewer in reefcentral web site!!! ) he is a great guy and have a fantastic tank so our club can motivate and gain a lot of follower. Also the cafe and a signature tank in the club can attracts a lot of people to gather around in the weekend,thats why our club have tight reefing community. Now our new tank has to rebuilt due to fracture at the bottom of the tank when punching the hold.

 

I suggest you should have one like this in canada, you will gain a lot of advantage about trading in low price and help among people in community^^

Yeah, I've seen chinchai's tank on reefcentral and on youtube. Not only does he have that huge sps display tank but he also has couple nano tanks..All of his tanks are amazing..wish I could go to thailand and check his tank out someday..

 

Btw, that is considered as an onyx clown.

Beautiful artist eye viewer you have! Corals colors are healthy and layout for each particular one is laid carefully to the eyes liking. I like the very open space it have and the anthias play a very important role in your aquarium and my opinion you made a very good choice on choosing those fish!

 

Hopefully I can get my tank to look half good as yours. I can't decide if I should just do LPS or SPS or just a mix reef but I kinda leaning toward the mixers both. Do you have any SPS in your tank or is it just softies and LPS?

 

Those pictures are mind blowing and may ask if I can use it as my desktop screen saver for inspiration courage. You are really a true master of arts and reefing. :)
