[kenyee]

Hi all, I am starting this thread to document my upgrading project. Its also to share my experience and knowledge in FOWLR setup. I am not expert nor senior, so please pardon me and correct me if necessary. My new tank is coming on 301213.

Specs of my FOWLR:

Tank dimension: 5ft x 2.5ft x 2ft (12mm normal glass)

Skimmer: Skimz SK251

Return Pump 1: Fluval SP6

Return Pump 2: Jebao DC6000

Wave Maker: 2 X Jebao WP40

Sump: 4ft

Above are the confirmed specs and equipments till today. More equipments and informations will follow up soon.

Meantime, I have try to scape using dead rocks (subject to changes after combining with LR). As going to empty out my old tank on 281213, I have prepare spare tanks to hold my fishes and LR. Its gonna be a busy day. Any reefer want to offer a helping hand?(can WA me @ 90235882)

I have attached some photos for viewing pleasure..

Thanks for reading..

Just curious, why dont u sell away your current fishes? That way u can slowly set up the new tank. From what i see from your set up, it will be a very risky move.

Bro, care to share why?..new tank syndrome?..I believe for FOWLR, the most important is clean water plus the fishes eat n swim ard..hope all is well..
