Dear reefers,
I built this setup back in Dec 2008. The objective was a tank that had close-to-zero maintenance, low running costs and yet still hold it its ground as a striking central attraction in the living room. 2 years have passed and I have succeeded in attaining a fully stocked FOWLR setup (heavily fed 8 times a day), colorful and attractive, no visible algae, clear water, no skimmer, no FR and no water changes. It started off as an experimental system and despite the encouragements of fellow reefers to share and post, I have declined because I wasn't sure I was going to succeed. It is quite sad that when I finally get to post and share my tank, it is time to decommission it. Thanks to the many reefer friends I have made along the way. I appreciated the company and conversations we had.

highly recommend if its within budget and you can afford the space in the tank. Will remove detritus and is beneficial for all tanks.
However for the wavemaker to serve this purpose, it should not be solely used to create a one-directional current. It is best to use a wavemaker that causes a pulsing / swosh effect. this way all your detritus will stay in suspension and get drawn into the filter.
Cheers!

I second bro. nakazoru. I like the idea of minimal lighting setup, simple yet the sun corals can be stunning. Use a strong canister, with sucha small volume, you will be able to achieve a high turnover rate of >25times/hour.

FOWLR tank, no comments
Comments/Remarks:
Beautiful fish. at first it looks just like a black fish with a white dash and then yellow on the rim of its fins. as it matures, the rim of its fins and tail show blue on top of the yellow and the fish's color moves on to be a very deep navy blue.

hey solo, long time no see man. been very busy with work ah, but will post soon.
-
I have a working example 300L FOWLR setup. started it last December, relatively heavy stocking, feed 8 times a day, and not done a water change since last Dec.
the concept works =)
-
Not using anymore.It a great piece of equipment, but I took it out when i went oversea. Nobody to clean for mi 
yeah you're right. need regular cleaning. I clean mine about once every 4 days.
the reddragon and wavysea still running very well. think its about time i post tank pics too!
-
Welcome back iceman! still using algae screen? haha!
-
keyhole is very nice too!
-
very very nice!

I seriously recommend against a 24hr photo period. start with the 18. if you wish to kick start the process, get some seed algae.

onizuka: with regards to getting the moorish to feed pellet, my experience is u need to have the MI feeding first. eat anything also can. for example if it eat seaweed, the next time u feed, u get powdered pellets, mix with the seaweed so when the MI eat the seaweed, no choice, it will have some powdered pellet in its mouth. over time slowly train but it has to eat first, u gotta figure that out.
wilson: yeah i feed primiarly 2 kinds. NLS in auto feeder and when i have time, i feed ocean nutrition fomula 2 manually.
reeffish: seems like still no answer to the puzzle as to why NLS must be fed exclusively for best result.
-
Collected! Thank you all!
Thread closed.

but i still don't understand how come feeding ONLY new life spectrum produce results. Is it because when mix with other food, that means the fish eat less of NLS and that's why don't get the full nutrition. or the ingredients in NLS cannot fully digest when there is other food in the fish stomach?
-
I own a FOWLR setup. All along I had this idea that we should vary our fish's diet to provide them all the nutrition they need. However lately I've had this experience that led me to think otherwise.
I quote New Life Spectrum Marine Fish Formula's instruction "For best results, feed New Life Spectrum exclusively" I never thought much about this until recently. I have a auto feeder and it feeds NLS 4 times a day. When i get home from work, I will feed Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 and mysid shrimps off and on throughout the evening. Due to my busy schedule lately, I've not been home to hand feed fishes and left it all to my auto feeder hence they've all been eating NLS exclusively and I stumbled upon an interesting discovery.
Sometime back I bought a Moorish Idol. It has a long dorsal (top) fin that breaks off occassionally and then regenerates back very quickly. After a while, this stopped happening and the Moorish developed lateral head erosion and the scar was quite prominent. No matter what kinda of good stuff I introduce into the fish's diet, it just seems that I can never restore it back to original health until now when i was too busy too feed other foods.
within 3-4 days of exclusive feeding of NLS, my Moorish's head scar has healed 50% and it has regained its ability to regenerate its dorsal fin. With other fishes, I seem to observe an overall improvement in health as well.
This made me think back of the instructions that were printed on NLS's bottle to feed NLS exclusively for best results. quite puzzled why this would work.

I would like to sell 1 specimen of the Red Sea Golden Butterfly (GB) ~4inches. It is a very beautiful fish. This fish has been with me for at aroud 2 months, eating well and is definitely stable.
Initially I owned a pair but over time, they didn't seem to get along too well. I'm considering selling it because their mutual fighting has been affecting the overall temperament of all my other fishes in my FOWLR. As such I've separated the butterflies, one in the display and one in the sump.
Asking for $90 with the following reasons:
1. Fish is in healthy condition, feeding greedily on flakes and pellets
2. I love GBs and with this price tag, hopefully will ensure the next owner's commitment to take good care of this fish.
If no takers, I'll possibly think of a way to re-introduce the GB back into my display.
Collection in the west, feel free to drop by to view. Should you decide to buy, please bring a pail.

the scrubber is not without its drawbacks which I didn't really talk about. However used in the right context, it's really value for money.
you also build one la.
