3000 gallon tank! (load warning!!)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
my guess is PH is more than 8 and will stay at this level for quite awhile, perhaps months unless TS have done something to take care of this......
 
Great tank I am really like the overal tank.
I would like to know what is filtering this tank as a can't find a section explaining the filtration being used in this thread.

Yeah I think everyone would.




Awesome tank Diego!, ojala que algun dia llegue a tu nivel.
 
Great project - lovely looking tank. Just read the whole thread!

I'm a little confused though. If you have built the tank walls from concrete and the rocks are held in with cement, did you seal the walls?
I always thought that bare concrete and cement had to be left to cure for quite some time before it was suitable to introduce fish.
Something to do with the lime content or other additives sending the PH sky high??
I'm sure I read on a thread here on MFK that PH can sit as high as 15 while a concrete structure is curing, which would obviously not be too clever for the fish.

I'm also curious as to why you went down the road of multiple canister filters on a project this large.
Would it not have been more efficient to build a large sump filter?

I'm interested to hear your answers Diego and solve my curiosity!
Hope it all goes well and you don't lose any more fish.

I thought I read canisters being mentioned but I thought Diego must have been joking.
A tank this large and expensive requires large mechanical and biological filtration with adequate turnover to match the tank volume.
