I dont know what else to say except........ WOW

What an amazing tank and a very informative thread!! I have just finished reading it over a few days while being at work and have learnt a lot.

Down here in Australia we do not have any BIG tanks like this. My partner and I would like to have a BIG tank one day. We are currently setting up a 500g system and would like to base it on this tank. We currently came across some stingrays at the LFS, that would be great to have but from what I have learnt, is they need a lot of space.

Anyways, great tank and I look forward to updates!

We have plenty of BIG tanks here mate, you just haven't seen them.

There's a guy in Cottesloe, who dives in his tank.
Its in the centre of his house, he has viewing panels from most rooms.
Granted its not a reef, but it's BIG.

There are also plenty 2-5000l tanks around.

kahurunitahi · #30 09/13/2006, 12:46 AM

Yeh? Wow that must be huge... well apologies for my mistake! I guess there would be many of them around but they are just not known about.

reefez · #31 09/25/2006, 07:15 PM

Many around. But not all as nice as this one. Very well planned and cared for.

reefez, I was referring to the issue of the presence of large tanks in Australia.

massman · #33 09/26/2006, 06:33 AM

Double post sorry.

Kent E · #34 09/26/2006, 07:05 AM

I read it somewhere, that Energy had some time to get adjusted to this new system and he had some ideas for things he would do differently. I would love to hear the words of wisdom.

I'm starting to build my 4th tank and with each you learn so much!

Laverna · #35 09/26/2006, 10:55 AM

After viewing the pics of this tank and much consideration...... I have decided to trade my husband in for one that will build me a replica of this one!!!

So, up for grabs/WTT..... one 40 year old plumber for one reef crazy gentleman (no age limit as long as I get that tank!) LOL

Joking aside ~ great system and hats off to the owners!

Energy, truly amazing setup. Are there any updated pics of your beautiful tank (or better yet a hi-res video)?

Lev · #38 10/12/2006, 07:57 AM

Hi!
Energy, very beautifull tank.
Please, I've probably missed the point, but - water changes how often you do them weekly, byweekly or monthly?
And another one - You love wrasses, why you does not have harlequin tuskfish? I have it, and it is a very lovely and colourfull fish.
Kind Regards,
Lev

i think he does monthly 10% water changes. i thought the harlequin tuskfish is agressive? wont they go after the fish and inverts? they are a beautiful fish. what do they eat?

Lev · #41 10/12/2006, 12:27 PM

Thanks for your reply, Spazz.
Harlequin's face looks agressive, but in fact they are very peacefull fishes, at least mine is.

They are definatelly meat eaters, mine likes frosen shtimp, squid, ... I have a lot of hermits and many different molluscs in my tank, he does not touch them. Towards other fishes he is also very tolerant, never chases anyone, at the same time other fishes does not disturb him. He is one of my favorites fishes, he lives in my tank two years. I like him very much and highly recomend to everyone.
Kind regards,
Lev

thanks for that info Lev. do you have a thread or any pics from your system? I would love to see them. its great to see people from other countries here on reef central. with the language difference its hard to find reefers from countries that know english. I don't know any foreign languages so Ihave to stick to the english reef sites.

I love my Harliquin and have had him/her about 4 years. Mine does eat snails and shrimp (cleaners, peppermints, Fires), even a few pistol shrimp that venture from their dens. Otherwise he is a model citizen.

What is the tall reactor with the balls in it?

Lev · #47 10/13/2006, 11:19 AM

It is so unpopular nowdays trickle filter.

jnarowe · #48 10/13/2006, 05:57 PM

I figured so. It is quite a piece of equipment!

First off all, sorry for the offtopic Energy. It is not right to discuss anything apart from your wonderfull system in this thread.
Gint, Ptichi Rinok (Pet Market) has been mooved to another place, but it is OK, and bigger then ever. Moscow is a nice city, though it is bloody cold here in winter. If anyone want to discuss something about Moscow or my setup, please write in my thread.
