Hi Everyone, my tank was commissioned on 23rd June 2012. Its a second hand tank bought @ Pasar Malam. Many changes and upgrades in setup, equipment, scaping, etc along the way till now. Definitely I have faced difficulty in term of keeping livestock. Till now there was 2 catastrophes. Nearly the whole tank was wiped out. The survivors are my Blue Tang, Brown Tang, Scooter Blennies, Leopard Wrasse and Bubble Anemone. I suspect its due to Ich and parasites when I introduced in Powder Blue Tang for the 1st catastrophe and Juvenile Blue Face Angel for the 2nd catastrophe. Lesson learnt along the way was to buy QT fish that eat pellets b4 introduce into DT. Do not overstock and overfeed.

Specs of my FOWLR:

Tank dimension: 3ft x 2ft x 2.5ft (12mm glass)

Centre overflow to sump (25mm pipe)

Skimmer: Bubble Magus BM150

Return Pump: Jebao DC6000

Supply to Fluidized Reactor with NP reducing BioPellets

Sump Tank with 14" by 17" DSB refugium, Live BactKing, Carbon and Cheato

DT Light: 900mm LEDs 14.4W (8hr everyday - 2-10pm)

Sump Light: Rainbow LEDs 2.1W

Wave Maker: 2 X Jebao WP25

Chilled by 2 computer fans (DT) and a 8.4W twin fans blower (Sump)

Temperature: 27-28.5 DegC

ATO: Astro 500 pump timed to run for 1 min everyday at 7am

Bro cutebarra77, nice fishes u have..I got watch ur video b4..the mirror in the tank is a innovative idea..check how u keep ur AT le?

the mirror idea was from my army buddy who 'poisoned' me into this awesome hobby.

if you are asking abt keeping AT ich free, what works very well for me:

- Buy from reliable LFS

- Fowlr easier to control the salinity in DT at 1.019 or 1.018.

- Feed them well and stress free.

- A lot of literature on using UV and garlic. I'm not totally convinced but still, I have been practicing them.

- Good water quality; I will siphon away the dirt at the bottom. But my 2 x tunze did a decent job to circulate the bottom to ensure the fish poo are not trapped at dead spots. Bare bottom tank has this advantage.

- water change (2 large red pails full) every 2 weeks. I am using tap water with Nutrafin Aqua Plus and H2Ocean salt

My project is very simple. Once fishes outgrown my tank, sell or give away. Then replace with new cool fishes.

Right now, AT, Naso, Kole and Regal are replaced with Flame Angel, Small Queen Angel, Coral Beauty, Possum Wrasse, small Regal and Moorish Idol.

a bit over crowded though, but they are doing very fine.

:) :) :)

maybe can also consider assembling a sand bed crew of sea cucumbers and Nassarius snails to clean up unconsumed food.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
