I hope you do someday. For now you can consider this yours. :)

Originally Posted by sean48183 any updates on this thing? Hello, I filled up the tank, a 'test-fill' if you like and everything is fine. Only minor problems here and there. The overflow holes needs to be lowered, and the submersible lights plugs needs to be close. I am thinking of another way...

As promised, here is the photo update: A picture showing the refugium and saltwater well. The refugium and tank. As you can see as well, the 'hut' is removed. I'm liking the color.. The fish farm aka fish spa.. The area for the pumps.. Fish just outside the tank in the sea A long way to...

Hello, Just thought I'd post how the refugium looks right now. We are done with the walls and working on the "partitions" inside. I didn't think it will look this big. The final dimensions of the refugium is 5m (16.4ft) x 3m (9.8ft) x 1.4m (4.6ft). I might be able to use part of it to grow...

Hello, Just a filler update. Here is a sneak preview of where we are thus far: This is only 1 coat of paint. I'm thinking 2 will be enough. We might pour the concrete today :)

We are done with the shuttering today and planned to have the concrete poured tomorrow. But guess what: It rained cats and dogs today and it seems we will delay the pouring. The fish farm collected nearly 5 inches of rain in little less than an hour, and it's not even totally sealed yet...

So the base concrete has been poured today. The paint is also here. A couple of relevant and irrelevant photos: The base for the refugium is poured today. They will start building it tomorrow. I don't believe how much depth I've lost (nearly 1.5 meters). Well at least now I will be able to see...

Originally Posted by oceana hey those are mine lol. and yes is till use them. great boxes Thanks for the photos. Can I ask: How big are those? I'm planning to have a couple 1 x 1 m, do you think they will float? I was planning to have an "edge" which is filled with foam. Is that necessary? See...

Hello everyone, We made a place for the refugium today. A good 5 x 7 x 2 meter hole next to the tank. Here is a photo of the hole: I'm thinking of expanding the refugium by 1 meter. Whats 1 meter between friends, right? :) Also, here is the repairs going on with the fish farm (aka fish spa)...

Originally Posted by Hunt how long you lookin at before adding fish. I'm hoping a month-and-a-half to 2 month. Give or take a month or so :)

I'm currently travelling and don't have any photo updates. However, since I don't have any actual photos to show you. I can share some designs we have for the aquarium. Here is the seating area design: Keep in mind that the area facing the seating area is around 11m (~36ft) wide. Any ideas?

Originally Posted by Bang Guy Yes! I understand very well now. You will need to eat a lot of the fish in the farm when red tide hits. The bioload may overwhelm the refugium depending on how many fish are in the farm. I'm not experienced with this type of aquaculture though.... Well the fish...
