I'd like to get something like that for my next tank. I like the squarish look. You would have a lot of choices of aquascaping. It remind me of the display tank at W*t** C*****. The one behind the tall sea horse tank. In fact, I just came across an article, where this guy has a similiar tank. You might get some inspirations from there

The tank is best to be arranged so can be accessible and viewable from 3 sides, placement maybe in the centre of the room. The cabinet should not be competing with the tank. I would also prefer not to have the black rim around the tank. Lighting would be a challenge. No offence, just thinking aloud.

Congrate on a nice tank. Keep us posted on your progress.

Appreciate your comments Tango , Yes, theres alot of aquascaping to move around with and this is the best part! I actually wanted a higher height and a view all round but space constraint left me to come up with this. Will definitely keep you guys posted about the progress to come. thanks again for your comments and the article.

Hi Dr. Evil , ...... I thought of using the Giesemann which not only caught my attention but also the slim and decorative design. I managed to speak with the local distributor here and he's checking out the availability and stock for me. I never really knew they had a 400W bulb for such deep tanks which is impressive to say the least. Although my tank is not really that deep but the width is wide. You're right that I might have to get double sets at least. As for the chiller , I know I have to get the largest and I thought of reef relief for starters. Any opinions on what I should get and what I should avoid by reefers out there? Would certainly welcome your advise

Giesemann?? that a very expensive brand.............why dont go for DIY? much cheaper......u save atleast half the cost.

for the chiller, why not ask dr chill if the 1.25h/p is good enough for ur tank..........

at the look of it, u maybe spending close to 10k for this setup..........thats depends on what u are keeping.

if u want to save cost on the lightings, i maybe able to help..........

he needs the new 1.5 h/p...1.25h/p not enough
