Wow...big FOWLR

You want to keep angels?

But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

To me, you will be unique in all the world.

To you, I shall be unique in all the world...

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

definately need strong current for them to leave well....some of my FOWLR friends notice a signifcaint improvement in their behaviours when they add in a tunze to their FOWLR.... ;)

for me even a seio in a 2 footer ended up with my fishes coming out more often to 'enjoy' the surf.....however ,do becareful of heat generated by sumersable pumps.... ;)

Concealed tunze chambers.Don't really like the wavemaker to be seen on main viewing area,that's why have to hide it in this 11" chamber.IMG_0054.jpg

care to take a pic of the concealed tunze chamber  ;)  how r u going to do maintenance  :huh:

The top part of the chambers are open concept,one on the left & the other right. The IOS is at the middle. The water will be suck in thru a hole below & into the chamber,the tunze will then push the water out to the main tank again. I will suck out dirt from the top.IMG_0055.jpg
