My "For the next 10 years" tank

[YHS]

I think maybe is better to adjust your light when your livestock is in.

I did not use the orpek lighting before, so not sure about the spread of t he light but I hang my AI about 24" from water

seriously bro? 60 cm from waterline. hmmm, will try to adjust later tonight. thanks for the input. yeah, you are right, low height definitely causes problem such as salt creeps.

NIce build!

I am using orphek too. Pls hang it high up, 60 cm is a good start, the light are very strong! Remember to adjust the light slowly to allow the corals to get use or bleach easily..

waiting for more update!

thank you Sunnymau.

I understand orphek lights are strong however tried hanging 60 cm last night, i noticed the lights are too bright and spilling all over the room. Maybe i will do as Larry suggested, which is adjusting height after the water is in and check the best height using a PAR meter.

sorry guys, my build kinda slow... cos got extra work at the office. business expansion really take a lot of time to do.

Hello Guys, sorry for late update. anyway... after successfully integrating vertex mocean, the piping is 90 percents finished. I just need to find time to attached the frag tank to the sump. Did a water leak yesterday, luckily no major leak detected. Here is the picture of my main tank, I will take some photo of my sump later tonight

The top bracing look good . Is it made of glass or acrylic ? There is no bottom bracing ?

the top bracing made from one piece crystal clear glass. it does have bottom bracing. its a full glass instead of 4 small pieces of glass. i just love the look of a full panes instead of small pieces glass... considering im going to go with barebottom.

Massive & impressive tank set up ... The width is perfect 

[YHS]

Finally... aquascaping is done!

here are some of the pictures

Look at how dedicated the guy who aquascape my tank. I really appreciate his dedication. he even taken a nap inside the tank using rocks as his pillow.haha!

[YHS]

some more picture of my island. this rock is created by combining 3 different rocks using 2 part epoxy putty by alteco epo putty. This thing is amazing!

[YHS]

Here is the final looks

front view

 

Left side view

Im planning to have 3 sided view. however I couldnt manage to get the right side view to be as desirable as the front and left sided. so probably will reserve the right side view for NPS.

next...filling the saltwater and ready to cycling.

[JMW]

OMG!!! Looks amazing! The rocks & their shapes are super natural looking... can't wait for your tank to get filled up!

[Jimmy75]

Nice scape! Look forward to full setup!

[Admiraltian]

Nice scape. Can't wait to see with all the corals filled up on the rocks.

yeah...bean animal overflow system. dead silent! super nice. you should consider using them. the one on the right is for emergency.

[YHS]

Finally, filled the tank with salt water.

Saltmix? nah...this is the benefit of living close to the sea...

ooppsss... still got mud. its okay, free miracle muds. 

 

[YHS]

30 minutes later...wow!

 

After 4 hours...

[tofubox]

Wow! absolutely stunning aquascape. Im really impressed by the type of live rock u manage to get, seems very porous with great size and shape. Keep the photos coming!
