I loved these videos! My favorite part about reefs is the plumbing and filtration ( aside for the corals and fish) the 3D model was very helpful showing all of the components. great job guys!
Seems like an awesome aquarium but the only problem I see is that it doesn't look well placed based on the little background we saw through the camera footage. Otherwise, awesome job! By the way, anyone know what software was used for those models? Looks pretty cool...
Incredible setup. I have a 420 gallon tank with a Reeflo Super DART/SNAPPER Gold Hybrid return pump. I am about to start the plumbing on this project and was considering going with Omni flex nozzles. My question is twofold; Should I go with the 1" nozzles over the 1.5" ones and how many returns should I go with. The tank is 7' long by 4' tall by 2' wide. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Quick question - I am 5 months into a 187 gallon reef tank + 35 gallon sump. All high quality equipment (skimmer, two filter socks, biopellet, UV, etc.), spent like $15k on the set up. There is a tank at my LFS and the water is crystal clear, very little particles floating around. My tank is crystal clear, however, I have a ton of floating particles. I have used Clarity, Coral Snow plus changing out my filter socks every couple of days. Also tried feeding less, vacuumed the sump, etc. All of my parameters are perfect, however my ALK was at 7 (now at 8.2), and Calcium was high at 525. I am dosing less calcium and more alkalinity to see if that will get rid of the particles, since I think it is calcium buildup that is not being absorbed into the water. Thoughts on this? Advice on how to get rid of the particles? Thanks.
Vivid, I know I am late but 2 questions. 1. Approximately, how many KWH per day, week, or month does this setup use? 2. I don't see any blue glue for the PVT connections. What do you use to glue them with? Amazing setup BTW.
great video! love the tank and the 3d images but would have preferred more actual footage of the filtration and plumbing ect. but nevertheless awesome tank. not many ppl in australia have setups as good as this!
Our tank is not overstocked and we have a oversized protein skimmer. We have no trouble maintaining Nitrates and no need for Vodka (carbon dosing) or Bio pellets.
Hey Vivid, did any fish breed in the aquarium, sorry for my english im from Brazil, over here the lights from ecotech is too expensive. We need the companys who want to invest money in the hobby in here, nive work.
To put it plain and simple; YOU ROCK! Thank You

3D rendering was awesome and made for easy following. Love the setup!
An equipment list with links would be really cool in the description.
Sick 3d model! Awesome you took the time to go thru it for us.
This is one of the nicest video's on you tube thanks for taking the time to post it very informative
3D Model was pretty sweet. Nice!
this aquarium is beautiful the corals are great the colors are incredible
Tanks for this vidéo, vers great ! That inspire me for my next 1200 gallons tank !
This helped me so much thanks!
Thanks dave love your work and all your great info
Amazing video especially with the 3d model
What side is has more coral growth and color? nice tank.

So there are 2 systems only circulating the water, there is no filtration, so these are to replace wavemakers/gyro right?
Nice work... Again thanks for sharing...

Awesome work Vivid! Will you be doing another video like this soon?
Awesome design nice work

Outstanding accomplishment.... Really. How man KW Hrs per day does this consume on average?
Wow. What 3D software was used for this designed?
hi dave could you confirm the test results of the check valve on your return line... does it stop the water flow into the sump?
Vivid, I know I am late but 2 questions. 1. Approximately, how many KWH per day, week, or month does this setup use? 2. I don't see any blue glue for the PVT connections. What do you use to glue them with? Amazing setup BTW.
I love your videos, please do some more :)
Can you show us inside the overflow boxes ? Want to see hight of the return pipes. Why not go with a Ca Reactor for such a big tank ?
What is that series of white boxes across the top left of the back of the aquarium? Are those the ballasts for the lights?
Those are the ballasts for the Ecotech Radion LEDs
Impressive set up! Where is this tank? a shop? What is the electrical bill for it? I'd like to have one built. Thanks.
Is this tank bare bottom now? And didn't it use to have a deep sand bed? why the change and have you seen any benefits?
what a great video thanks mate
great video! love the tank and the 3d images but would have preferred more actual footage of the filtration and plumbing ect. but nevertheless awesome tank. not many ppl in australia have setups as good as this!
How much money did it take to complete. Also, how do I keep my 5.5 gallon tank cold, since I use ice cubes to keep them cold
Is the best Plumbing job that I seen in any video in RUclips, is a masterpiece, is this tank in a house or your shop?
The 3D model was awesome! Off topic, now that its been 2 years, would you go with Radions or MH lights?
Radions suck dude.
hi dear
please can you tell me what the best glue, to stick stainless steel to glass for huge fish tank, about (30,000 L) .
Really informative video!
Amazing CAD work!
One thing though, how do you control Nitrates?
I didnt see a refugium or Bio pellets...do you dose Vodka?
Our tank is not overstocked and we have a oversized protein skimmer. We have no trouble maintaining Nitrates and no need for Vodka (carbon dosing) or Bio pellets.
+Peter Derrick thank you great to see you like the 3-D work
Real nice!
wow what a set up.
How much would that reef and fish be worth? Like a million?
What graph do you guys use for the radions?
Check our Fed 4th facebook post for screen captures of our Radion settings.
What are the radion's lights set at?
These are the Gen 1 Radions.
Blues are at 80%
Whites at 70%
Green & Red at 15%
Check our Feb 4th Facebook post for a screen capture of our settings.
Parabéns pelo Projeto...
Parabéns Bela Montagem!
Aquarium Size??
DUDE!!!!!!!!! Where are the new videos?
I don't know why anyone would not want this aquarium :)
Could you say what the cost of all this would be ?
Tank Lights Filter system coral and rock ??
If you have to ask that, then you can't afford it.
Did he stop posting vids?
Nice
Hey Vivid, did any fish breed in the aquarium, sorry for my english im from Brazil, over here the lights from ecotech is too expensive. We need the companys who want to invest money in the hobby in here, nive work.
We have not had any fish breed in our 800 to date.
In Brazil these light cost r$ 2.000 dollar a piece
why do you run half mh and the other half led's?
To compare the differences between old school and new school.
ahh thank you.
What happens when the calcium based growth blocks off the inlets....
Wow
Big tank big $ .
Nice Nice Nice ☆☆☆☆☆
