NSW is crystal clear but with slightly yellow tint . I will use carbon to get rid of the yellow tint towards the end of Nitrogen cycle .

It is now almost a week with no reply from them to the point that I have given up . Although it is a good product but not worth buying due to bad after sales service . If I can turn back the clock , I would have bought the Abyzz wave maker instead !!!!

Looking good and like you have some bacterial action going on!

I think your foam issue with the drains will return as your bioload increases however - Other than having them exit under water to reduce the amount of air forced in, I'm not sure how best to stop that issue.

Excited to see how this will be developing!

I agree here. You're basically doing the same thing as the protein skimmer here in the sump... some people have a skimmer that works using gravity, just like this (e.g., Eli's 30k reef tank). This is a simple fix with some couplers and extra lengths of PVC.

To be honest, this tank's rock-works is so ugly. It's too much rocks and over kills.

Many people prefer a mix in rock work and a bit of definition vs a rock wall. I know I do but that said for a tank this size I see the desire to put this in and as corals grow out on it it can be quite stunning.

IMO, I would go with the canyon looks, and maybe a small island in the middle. it'll give it a depth feel.

I believe the main purpose of this design was to help block the view through the tank. There is a bedroom on the other side.

For a wall to block view and allowing lots of flow for corals, I'm not sure that it could have been designed much better.

Nice looking pool. But every time I look at it I think what a bad tripping/slipping hazard the rocks and step up/down from the smooth black stone surface will be. Or am I missing something?

vikinglord13 · 10/01/2017, 03:09 PM

Wow, nice update.
Beautiful rays. Cool waves. Excited for stocking.

The scape isn't my thing either but I had the same thought as you in that it needs to be like that for the reason stated. It would be hard to come up with anything else without some of that one way backing.

I do know that there is some type of window/glass laminate clear sheet that will only late you see through one side only. I think that would work better than the rocks wall.

I believe the idea is to have the tank visible from both sides while still providing some privacy to the those staying in the suite. I personally think it looks amazing and serves its purpose. Especially once filled in with corals and fish go darting in and out of the crevices. I can't imagine the amount of work it took to put that scape together. Well done, Sirichok.

He is saying to out the one way on the bedroom side as that sound allow them to see into tank but not the restaurant to see into bedroom.

Even with the rock wall one could still catch a peak...
