They are online saler, and does not have a store in Taipei. Maybe you should contact with them for the order first!
Their e-mail address: [email protected]

Thanks. Their website don't have much useful information regrading pricing and model availability.. I have problem with paypaling people in another country, with no store front, and an Hotmail email account..

Are they based in Tainan? Are they popular in Taiwan? its rather odd I can's walk into a store in Taipei and pick one up if they are as good as it seems. How would someone get repairs done on these? The website don't even list their office address, only banking\payment info;).

A same fixture to mine but different in color (pearl white) ordered by another person in Taiwan. This film shows the shimmer provided by the fixture. Quite fancy, LOL!

After solving some leakage problem due to the bad plumbing before, here is the second time layout for this tank.

cozer,
Does the one Thortek have enough light spread to cover the 24" of front to back? My Solaris LED fixture is probably only optimally good for 18" front to back.

No, 24" should be too wide for their traditional fixtures. I was informed to use their fixture on tanks not wider than 18". For tanks with larger width, multiple fixtures are recommended. For this basement tank, another 36" fixture will be needed to provide enough light coverage. Still saving the money for this big investment.

I am sorry I did not read the entire thread, but are you not concerned with having such a high sump?

For instance if you add a skimmer, it will make it difficult to install/service. Unless of course it is external. The other question I have about the sump is with it being extra tall, should you have for some reason a power failure will the sump handle the extra water without overflowing?


Other than, a great setup! I really digging the LEDs.
