The DSPS tank by Chingchai Uekrongtham is a 1200 gallon reef aquarium which is a spotlight on many of the most modern features that are available to aquarists today. Not only does Chingchai’s aquarium employ the cutting edge in technology, Mr. Uekrongtham also has a good eye for rare and unique livestock: Gemmatum tang, interrupta angelfish, resplendens angelfish, and more choice Acro and LPS corals than you can shake a stick polyp at. We first reported on this aquarium build a couple of weeks ago, shortly after the tank was established with a full walkthrough of the filtration system and satellite aquariums. Now that the aquarium is much more fully stocked, we can all really appreciate where this reef will be going over the next couple of years. We have to give Mr. Uekrongtham a huge nod for his gravity-defying aquascaping: the much reduced use of live rock breaks up the overall look into several bommies and spires which are absolutely coral covered giving the fish and viewer’s eyes all manner of swimthroughs to follow. The reduced volume of the reefscape will also encourage much better water flow as it appears that the water outlets are arranged to produce a gyre flow pattern through mass water movement. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this instantly iconic reef and huge thanks to Chingchai Uekrongtham for sharing another HD video of his fantastic setup.
