Just spectacular. A big ambitious project done to perfection. The open water effect really makes me feel like I might be scuba diving when I look at your display.
I would like to hear about your automatic feeder set up--with pics--if you have a chance. Actually your system is so sweet that I think a picture of anything would be a treat. |

Arguably the best TOTM that I have ever seen. Well done! Smashing job!

I love how the coral are displayed in kind of a wave fashion. It creates a flowing relaxing picture. I'd like to fall asleep on your couch after being lulled into dreamland by the swimming fish and the many colorful coral hues.

Just to add my congratulations! Nice to see a UK reefer doing so well in the home of reefing fanatics! A worthy addition to the TOTM pantheon.
Also encouraging to see that there are decent SPS available in the UK, for when I return next year (when I'll be setting up again). Where did you get yours Tuan? Tom

My God! Your set up is so scientifically technical. I flunk physics so my I'm just happy that I can fix a minor leak. I mean, your refugium makes mine look like a small baby bottle...LOL
I must say it is exciting trying to reach your idea of perfection. That's why this hobby is great...there's always something new to learn. However, your tanks is so incredibly (and physics--cally) self-maintained now...do you have any new project or challenge now? |

The copper pipes are part of the heating/cooling system and are isolated from tank water by a titanium heat exchanger. ie. the heated/cooled water (tap water) pass through one side of the heat exchanger in one circuit, tank water on another circuit pass by on the otherside and are not in contact. The heat exchanger in the middle transfer just the heat across from one circuit to another.

tuan --
Possibly one of the best tanks I've ever seen on the TOTM page. For that opening shot, I had to do a double take, my first thought was that it was a gag shot of an actual ocean setting. Your tank really beautifully captures the depth and feel of open ocean. Congratulations on the award! I would like to know, how do you sex the mandarins to get a pair? |

Other questions (sorry but i am trying to learn with the masters...): 1-How much water do you loose by evaporation? 2-Do you use Kalk? 3-How often do you replace your bulbs? Thanks a lot, Ricardo |

I am inspired to see a trigger in such a set up - I would love to create a similar set up with crosshatches.

LisaP had some beautiful shots of male & female mandarins. I'll see if she can drop in a link here that might help. |

2 - yes, with high evaporation I can add a lot of kalk. Most of the kalk solution is dripped in at a constant rate 24/7 via a dosing pump, some is added periodically and automatically via the float switch when the evaporation is more than the constant dripped rate. 3 - the lamps are replaced around 12-15mths cycle, although recent attendance at a seminar where Sanjay Joshi was speaking I getting more convinced that we can replace the lamps less frequently. |

Tuan, first let me say BEAUTIFUL!!
I have only one question. You mention in your description about the live rock that you have a "two level structure". Can you describe more about what exactly you mean and how you did it? Thanks
