Tuan's tank

[danano]

for SRC to gain greater international recognition..why not open to reefers who are interested to share their reefing sucess and experiences?

Tuan, you have an awesome tank...cheers

ditto

[Achilles Tang]

Spectacular, spectacular!

Well... technically, SRC is for Singapore reefers but I guess we have a growing pool of foreign reefers who drop into SRC quite often since day 1.... so like our government says: "Open your arms to foreign talent!"

And why not?

[Tanzy]

Tuan,

I would love to eyeball your awesome tank.

danano,

I've never seen you in London.

[tuan]

Have to arrange a weekend soon, got some other peeps wanting to visit so I'll try and get something sorted.

how you manage nitrate (NO3) ?

Not sure what you mean - I use live rock filtration which completes the nitrogen cycle, plus in-tank DSB (28 square feet of it!), and a 8'x2' refugium growing macro algae for nutrient export. If anything I have been thinking about adding some sort of trickle filter/bio balls to generate some nitrates for more clams.

Hey welcome to SRC tuan!

You're tank is like pretty much summed up by the rest of the reefers.

A system at such a scale is rare in Spore. Hopefully those chaps that are making their way to your place would take somemore great photos and display it here. Hehe, then we can admire more of your setup.

Btw you are most welcome to be featured in TOTM and you have my support dude!

[tuan]

D00d - thanks!

The scale makes it easy and hard at the same time. Sure it's usual for S'pore but its by no means the largest around the UK. And you guys have access to some amazing stuff!

[d00d]

Yeah, I agree with what you said about the scale of things in your hands. Think it wuould definitely be easier than a 2ft tank as it would be more stable.

Amazing stuff? Hmmm...Like?

[wedgee]

What's SG like for importing stuff?

Ironically I've got bits of those montis scattered all over the tank because the fish keeps crashing into them. Not sure if they'll survive the postage journey nor customs.

Tuan,

If you can get the export CITES on your side, it would be quite easy to get an import permit here. PM me if you can.

Congrats Tuan! Very well done!!

Gone back to basic... Red Green Blue!

Curious... was the blue stag originally all blue (body & corallites) when you first introduced it into your tank? Or did the blue become more intense under your care?

[tuan]

It started out more greyish than blue - only turned a lot more blue recently. The tips has always been a nice bright blue though.

Thanks for the congrats

[d00d]

CONGRATS PAL! :yeah: Your tank is TOTM material.

[tuan]

Update: tank grown out a bit more

[AlfaRomeo]

Wow, thats a stunner! love the grown out colonies of staghorns!
