DSPS Tank From Thailand (1000 gallons+) - Page 34

Leak free!!! Nice! It is looking fantastic with tap water... wait till you get salt water in there. Are you going to lower the incoming pipe into the sump? Looks like it is splashing a bit of water...

The pic of your sump, looks like something from a nuclear power plant, with all those pipes going into it. LOL

I think alot of people watching this thread are jumping for joy!!

I don't think ANYONE in all my years of keeping reefs or looking at building tanks has come close to this build.

Absolutely masterfull!!

No drawing yet.
But it would be something like this.
This is the aquascaping of Sanjay's tank. It really inspires me.

Tom. Thank you for your kind words.

I think by now you know how I feel about your tanks...I mean works of art!

murfman · 08/02/2009, 07:22 PM

Chingchai, Sanjay has inspired a lot of us! I can't wait to see your rockwork, in the tank.

myreefcentral · 08/02/2009, 07:40 PM

When's the rocks going in?

strout · 08/02/2009, 07:52 PM

I love that Rock work, its the same way I would have done it, except mine would be turned upside down. He was thinkin outside the box when he placed the rocks on the pegs. I would have started with the larger portions of the rock on the bottom of the peg and tapered up. He started with the smaller parts of the rock on the bottom of the pegs and tapered out towards the top,,,, his way is better. You can't go wrong trying to emulate that style of aquascaping.

So far I am not happy with my cured live rocks.
I am trying to bring some Fiji live rocks from Singapore. Here is what it looks like ( I took the pictures when I visited their farm in May):

Plankt0s · 08/02/2009, 08:33 PM

I have never seen rock kept like that.

their rocks are really good.... Its from Coral Farm in Singapore.

But one thing you need to be careful about fiji rocks.
Lots of hitchhiker. ---- CRABS.

From my experience i already know how to deal with these unwanted pests.

Put your rocks in a tub with sea water. Dose potassium chloride.. lots of it. Kill them with it and your rocks are still healthy.

Matias Ilhabela · 08/03/2009, 01:22 PM

just put in water with a tablet of programplus and not on a crab.
