The Austrian Dropoff Tank

[dodgerblew]

Incredible setup! I'm so impressed

 

[zoomonster]

Very nice setup and tank/stand design... Don't think I have seen a tank quite like that.

I keep coming back to this thread just to view the tank photos again. I can't stop looking at it!

@melypr1985 @4FordFamily @Duke4Life Have you seen this??

 

[Goby-won]

What's with the commas as .'s? I get it - EU thing. I work for an EU company and do the conversion between metric and NA all the time. Thanks for sharing and beautiful tank/pics.

Question: notice a lot of fish in the drop off area. Do the fish spend more time in this area or do they swim throughout the tank?

Looks great Flo!

really really nice. I'm super jealous.

Seems scary though, if the tank and stand don't fit perfectly I would be afraid of a crack from the stress. How thick is the foam I see you have under the tank?

 

[KingReefTank]

Awesome tankbuild! How did you create the waterflow?

 

[Florian_W]

Awesome! Great tank

thanks

That's quite possibly the coolest tank I've ever seen!!!

thank you!!

How are you liking your Hyperion fixture? We have one brand new in packaging and were planning on throwing it over our display in the shop!

thanks! I´m very very happy with the fixture! had an ATI Hybrid before and you can´t compare those. the build qualitiy from the PS is way above the ATI. It´s heavy but I´m so happy with it!!

Incredible setup! I'm so impressed

thanks

Question: notice a lot of fish in the drop off area. Do the fish spend more time in this area or do they swim throughout the tank?

haha yes i don´t know... for me it seems so wrong to not use commas
thanks!
the fish do stay more in the drop off area but the also swim around but the most stationary are the Anthias and the Kauderni... my Leucosternon loves to swim thorugh all the tank

Looks great Flo!

Thanks Greg

hahaha thank you ^^

thanks! the foam is 2cm strong. yes it did scare me in the beginning too... also the tank isn´t a 100% level that bothers me the most...

Awesome tankbuild! How did you create the waterflow?

thanks!
3x Vortech Mp10
1x Returnpump with 12.000L/h

but i´m planning on getting more flow!

Thanks again everybody!

hey!

so here is a little coral picture update
corals are looking better and better after i found out the problem with my alk (over 10...) now it´s back at 7.1...
have to dose some Kalium and Strontium.
Did my first change of AF filtermaterials, now using 400ml of ZeoMix, Carbon and Phos Minus
Af dosing:
6 drops of NP Pro+ and Pro Bio S every day in the morning
6 drops of AF Build + AF Energy every day at night
6 drops of AF Vitality + MicroE every other day at night
No Aminos right now because i´m not sure what is causing my cyanos... but i think it comes from my high P and PO4 parameters

Next week i will set up my new Bubble King Double Cone 200!! can´t wait!!



















Cheers
Flo

Hi Florian. That is a wonderful tank. Love the colours!
Would you mind share some details of the equipment and set up below the tank?

 

[revhtree]
