3.5x2.5x2.5 fowlr tank

[acidjazz]

Previously, my fowlr tank was a small 2x1.5x1.5 ft tank and i wasn't satisfied. Hence, i decided to do away with it and replace with a 3.5x2.5x2.5 ft fowlr tank. This is even bigger than my main tank which is 3x2x2.5 ft. My intention is to have a more comfortable swimming space for the bamboo shark (which i'll take over from bro lester). At the same time, i might add in a stingray or other exotic fishes. For the fish compatiability, still require the assistance of fellow reefers. Give me some feedback guys. .

Just rescape the fowlr tank today, actually use very minimum rocks because i wan to have more swimming space for the fishes, at the same time not compromising on their hide-outs.

Pics will come tmr.

Got a new toy as well. Tunze 6060 for water circulation.

It's a good idea to have a little less rocks as i believe the bamboo shark would require a lot of swimming space especially on the ground level, so the more floor space the better...

Tank looks good so far tho...keep us posted on developments

During the initial stage, i wanted to add a stingray as well. . but looking at my current tank size. . it wld do no justice to e stingray despite having minimum rock scape.

In addition, the tunze is very impressive, creating a sand storm in my tank. .

Personally, i like the idea of a separate refugim from the sump. This wld ensure that there is minimum disturbance to the refugim which cultivates copepods, macroalgaes etc. .

Still thinking how to place the tunze. . its a lil over powered for the tank.

great layout....... little sharky will love it ...

Contary to wad i said earlier regarding not adding a stingray, i got a blue spotted ray from one of the farms because the size is small and my tank sld be able to accomodate it.

bro, both shark and ray are pretty aggressive to other fishes by nature. I might add in lionfish and trigger. . make this an exotic species tank.
