DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+) - Page 327

Chingchai,
I know you are using Halides still and have supplemented with the LED's. Do you think you will ever go to LED's as your main lighting?

Has your opinion over the years changed with all the advances in LED technology?

I noticed some of your softies on the sand bed have been removed. Was this because of fish nipping or just to clean up the sand bed and make it easier to maintain?

Did you ever keep a Moorish Idol or Tangs, like Naso or Achilles, in there?

There is a picture somewhere showing a bunch of Achilles.

Mr.Ching Chai is not leaving the hobby.

biecacka · 11/28/2014, 12:50 PM

I think he was referring to the lack of recent posts I the thread. However, we all have a life and at times it gets in the way of our hobby. I'm sure he will post soon

I guess you follow my advice and put large angel on this masterpiece

reefer333_ · 11/30/2014, 03:32 AM

Your tank still looks amazing after all these years. I am amazed every time i visit the thread. Thank you for sharing.

overexposed · 12/24/2014, 11:30 PM

Chingchai, I discovered your thread approximately a month ago after stumbling across Peter's (nineball's) thread. I didn't make it very far into his thread because he kept raving about how everyone needed to read about your build.

So I started from the beginning, before the split. It was a tough start since the images from many of the earliest pages are now missing... but wow, what a read it has been! Whenever I have had a free moment in the past month, this is what I have been reading. Your planning has paid off and your perseverance, in spite of all the problems thrown at you, is outstanding. I am thrilled to see that your tank continues to thrive and that you have found a new line of business after your fruit importing took a downturn.

Congratulations on all that you have accomplished and thank you for sharing your journey with us. I can now resume my reading of Peter's thread

.

I do have a couple of questions for you though - after switching to the fiberglass rocks, have you seen any return of the mojanos? And did you have to change your maintenance at all to accommodate for the loss of biological filtering capacity via removing the live rock?

cFloor · 12/28/2014, 01:40 AM

Hows it going Chingchai, Any updates or new additions?

tdong · 01/15/2015, 10:31 PM

MidwesternTexan · 02/19/2015, 07:43 PM

I've zipped thru some of your thread. It looked awesome over 4 years ago!

It's beyond any description or words how nice of a job you've done, and continue to do in keeping your Reef, Congrats.

FishM8 · 02/20/2015, 05:29 AM

Dear Ching,

I am in pain. I am suffering from the absence of new pictures.

PLEASE HELP!

I think I know what is going on with Mr Chings tank.
It's obvious from the last pictures that he has dinoflagellates.
Once they settle in they take over and are next to impossible to get rid off.
SPS Corals will suffer with slow or now growth or die.
This pest is not pretty either and many reefers have left the hobby because of it.

This tank has it all and many would say it is the best tank in the world.
Dinoflagellates can make your reefing miserable and if I'm right about this I fully understand why Mr Ching is taking a break.

Lets all hope thats not the case, dinos would be an insane challenge with a tank like this.

Aqua Chemist · 03/04/2015, 01:22 AM

Don't think so. He posted a pic on fb and tge tank looks awesome still. I would post it here but there is a person in the pic so I don't want to offend

I don't know where you see dinos in that pic. I've looked at it on a 24" wide screen display and all I see is a little brown on the sand.
