I keep lookong at the sand bed thinking how clean it is and how there is no clutter, you dont have very many inverts do you? When you have inverts they make it look cluttered with shells everywhere, etc. wonderful tank. So what are you dosing with all those dosing pumps?

Well done! This is one of the best, if not the best tanks on this forum. Good planning goes a long way.

You didn’t mention much about your filtration methods and where you keep your parameters at??

I just changed from Sangokai to Triton. Not that I was not happy with Sangokai, but considering I have been on the same system since it's beginning I thought I need something new. I have experimented a lot but what I like about the Triton method is this concept to checking more parameters but fiddling less. Now the the N-Doc test I will see how my tank develops. I have also tried Zeolite Stone Filters, but ditched that because half the corals looked great, half just looked pale.

The sand bed is not always like this. It's only like this since is got the sicilium down with an additional 10 kg of resin after the osmosis unit.

Hi all
I'm a passionate reefer and last year I planned and created my new 320 gallon tank. After having a 160 gallon tank for 4 years it was my aim to create a tank perfect for me. Being a designer the design and style were as important as the equipment and concept. Here are some of my initial designs.

After many thoughts on design and complexity, I finally decided for a version.

A big issue was that I planned to separate the electronic and the water area. This is why I chose a rather large width. Here my plans.

Are you still in the hobby? I lost interest for a while but am stating to get back into it and I still go back to you tank as probably the best inspiration out there. I'd love an update if you have any but such fantastic work and truly an inspiration!
