A reef far up north

[fishtalk1517]

a magnificent tank and very nice live rocks scaping

tebd, mind sharing with us ur tank specs (seems abt 3 feet high) and equipments used . Simply gorgeous

[giantbicycle]

very amazing tank there.....

pictures will be much apperciated if being resized..Thanks

[Maxstar81]

Nice & Unique in design.

Where is it being placed in the house !?

Since its round....

What do you use to clean the glass !?

Hm.... If I were U, I would scape the LR

a little differently. I would smash the LR

& build them up with rock bonder.

(By doing this, it'll be more compact for

placement of corals & swimming space for fish)

The way U doing it is fine & more natural I guess.

Another thing is what bro LoReNsIa

commented. It will really look spiffy once

you get the bottom covered up with some

plywood & verneers.

for sharing your tank w/ us.

I hope it'll spark more creative tanks to be

set up locally other than the normal rectangular

ones we see everyday.

[NavIgatoR]

wow two thumbs up for u man...really nice tank....

[Achilles Tang]

Nice tank!

And welcome to SRC!

[mUAr_cHEe]

Do you have to dive in to scape or tie your rocks properly??

Mods - Can we do something about the over-sized pics?

[new_to_marine]

[Tedb]

The tank with stand is 195 cm. tank is 1 meter in diameter and one meter high.

Made of colorless acrylic by www.schuran.com

All the corals and LR is provided by www.marinakvariet.se

After a few arguments with my girlfriend I placed the tank so I can se it from Livingroom, Kitchen,CPU corner, Bedroom, and even from the toilet hehe

The reason I build the liverockpillar with so much rounded and pointy stones is that I had to build a small sump and the amount of liverock in the tank is needed ats a biological filter. And of course I want it to look as natural as possible. More pix will follow I promise.

The live stock in tank for now is :

1 BIG premnas biaculeatus (Im trying to find another but cant find any in this size)

5 Zebrasoma Flavecens

1 Rhinomuraena Quasita (Thats why i have to have big fish)

2 BIG Chysiptera taupou

1 Enoplometopus debelius Reef Lobster

1 Ophiolepis superba marbled brittlestar

60 Suctus Ungius Shield limpet

?? Turbosnails

1 Tridacna maxima Blue

1 Echinometra mathaei Reef flat boring Urchin

1 Holothuria atra Black sea cucumber

1 phymanthus sand anemone

CORALS

Lobophytum (gonna get rid of it soon)

Here is a pic of the magnoclean it can handle a cylindertank down to the size 40 cm in diameter. I have ordered a cover for the upper part and sumparea that is made from stanless steal brushed to fit in with my citchen supplys and the rest of the room. I plan to make the cover so i can lower the upper part over the tank when i need to get in there and same thing put elevating it up over the tank when i need to get in to sump area that way i can reach everyting 360 degrees.

[shootsimon]

All the equipments must have cost you a bomb! The tank itself I belief is very very XX already

[Tedb]

Thanks shootsimon

Now that the basics parts are on place I will start filling it with my favorite corals. Many of te parts I had from tanks I had before.

Here is a daytime pic without lightings.

View from the kitchen

[Tedb]

I put up a wallpaper to get the right ocean feeling in the livingroom

[cityofangels]

Your tank really blew me away. Not many reefers would have the ambition in building a 360 degrees view tank.

I am intrigued on how your tank looks like with the moonlights though. If it isn't too troublesome, care to post a pic?

Oh yah.. love your ocean themed living room too!

[Tedb]

thanx. The moonlight pic will be a problem as i have not the ACLS yet without them its either bluelights or bluelights and MH so until i get the two ACLS computers there is no moonlight in my reef. Chekc out www.sfiligoi.it under lightings and acls. I have 2 400W soleset but the computers would cost 3466 SGD so they had to wait until I get all the rest that I think was more essensial. This project has allready reached skylimits in cost and dimming the ligts is not worth 3466 SGD at the moment. Now I have to get more LR and corals and fish. And maby a new aquariumm controller I got my eye set on last week. hehe

WOW...This is even beautiful..where u got it from? May i know ?

[Tedb]

[AREA51]

totally inspiring tank man!!!

gorgoeus tank + ocean artwork!!!

but it would be even better if you could try to cover up the green nets from sight

[Tedb]

-Area51 as I wrote in another post there is still 30 KG LR going into the tank next month and im shur that will take kare of my green net. But i have already found purplealgeas building up on the net aswell. Soon the net will be invisible im shure.

Hope to get U guys building cylinder tanks soon :-)

[cdckjn]

Awesome and amazing tank, Nice 360 view like those we get in the Underwater World in Sentosa.

[Melvyn Tan]
