Hey everyone! I’ve decided to make my 180G the focus of the rest of 2020 while I let my 300G low maintenance softie reeftank run on autopilot. The focus of this build is going to be unique and/or interactive fish. After the recent upheaval of my mangroves from 2 different systems and realizing it isn’t feasible to keep large fish with them in a setup like this(see accompanying pictures below). (At this point most of them were around 80cm to a metre tall) I eventually did away with all but 1 of my mangrove plants, and I’m considering placing this last rhizopora in the overflow section of my 180G display. Prior to being in this system, they grew out a lot better as propagules in a deep sandbed in this old system i had to decommission earlier this year: Now, I’m rolling with a completely different setup but one that’s close to my heart cause it’s what got me into reefing to begin with- a classic fowlr with my favorite marine teleostei specimens. Of course, I had to get down and dirty(and especially soggy) revamping my system as I reconfigured the plumbing, swapped out for a stronger return pump, and housekeeping that was way overdue. Previously, I had a 9” Batfish in the tank along with a few other fish with the mangroves. I let these go as well and the system was running fishless for a good 2 months. Over the past week, I’ve been hard at work refurbishing, consolidating and fine-tuning the main components of this system that was given to me FOC in September last year from someone who was letting it go with only the condition of payment for the moving fee. At $250 for a 4x2.5x2.5ft tank of approximately 180 gallons, I had my work cut out for me in the beginning, as the system was in a putrid state overall, but I got it running after a while. Recently, I stripped the system back to its fundamentals and scrubbed it down. Here’s a before & after of the sump for reference: Before~ After~ In the coming weeks, I’ll be documenting my journey refurbishing and setting up from scratch of an older system. Albeit the fact that it’s not the most prestigious or ambitious build, I want to help beginners and people just getting into the hobby realize that reefing/maintaining of a marine aquarium need not be as intimidating, super expensive or sophisticated as it may appear or be. Stay tuned for more! P.S. also, I’ve already got my first member for this fowlr setup that is something of a old dog with new tricks. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Thank you so much for your advise. After much consideration, I will go for 160L chiller. Sometimes my room can go up to 29degreeC. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Could be many reasons. Typically I would initially think is water chemistry - but you said all params ok but, did you test for Ammonia? (I would suggest you rule out ammonia issues). It could be something attacking the immune system of the fish (e.g. velvet, did you add any new fish? QT?). You mentioned your return was faulty. This could cause a few issues if you are not running water through your filters (eg. carbon), but this would show up in you Params. It could a lack of CO2 displacement/exchange in this case adding an air stone (like you did) would help as it causes more gas exchange. Make sure wavemakers are creating enough agitation. Just some ideas. Hope it helps. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Getting started with salt! Here’s what I’m using for a fowlr setup while still sticking to a synthetic mix: Picked Fauna Marin’s synthetic salt to eradicate the need for crud in a mixing bin compared to naturally derived mixes as the first thing I’m doing is filling up the 180G of tank volume directly with RO/DI water before mixing it with this salt. Opted for the regular Sea Salt as it’s 10bux cheaper and my system is going to be a fowlr(fish with live rock) without any plans for coral so it doesn’t require additional elements like calcium and alkalinity in higher quantities. Hooked up my the 4-stage RO/DI to my garden hose and hid the entire unit in an outdoor storage bench for a clean install: Keeping it hidden for a neat install. Cut some pipe to create a waste water line down from the garage into the drain outside my house gate: And the 0 tds water’s goin’ in! I expect a total of close to 9hours to fill up the main display.
