After starting my very first saltwater tank 4 months ago. 
http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/143340-nooblenny-noobie-reef/

I went ahead to convert my existing freshwater planted tank into a FOWLR.

The tank inhabitants will mainly be butterflyfish. I have a Longnose & a Double Saddle Butterflies in QT right now.

All are existing FW equipments

Tank: Custom made ADA 90F shallow 3 feet (90x30x20cm)
Light: Up Aqua PRo-Z planted LED
Filtration: Eheim 2213 with Seachem Purigen, Aquaforest Phosphate Minus, Aquaforest Carbon & LR rubbles
Wavemaker: None
Sump: None

Thanks 

Yeah, no cover, unless plan to keep blenny or goby. Hopefully the current fish don't jump

The contrast now is of course caused by all th new rocks, sand and the use of a light meant for planted tank. Any plans to change the lights? Also how do you plan to keep the rocks and sand so white or are you intending to let it attain a more aged look.

It's pretty but in a short time you'll have algae problem. 

And you should install a wavemaker

Yup, these are all not marine equipments. The reason I stick with this light due its most pleasing to my eyes. Will add another piece of actinic light to enhance the blue.

No plan for keeping the rocks & sand white, will let them age or covered in algae.

Thanks, I understand that. My reef tank with similar rocks covered in algae less than 2 mths.

Yeah, will install wavemaker and protein skimmer soon.

Bro, i find the MAME design skimmer very match ur tank..very clear glass look..nice yea..

For ur tank, i find it hard to add wavemaker n/or finetune to not splash out water/sandstorm..hope u can find n set up a nice wave yea

[xeneryx]

Hopefully the smallest gyre can do the job. 

Create some waves at least it's healthier for the fishes and giving it more oxygen

Yeah, i did take a look at their glass skimmer & overflow when i first started saltwater tank. But it is too pricey for me haha. Besides, glass looks nice until covered by algae. Maybe i'll get another Tunze 9001. 

Will be aiming up towards surface to minimize sandstorm. But yeah, have to lower the water level.
