My new 6x2x2.5 'FOWLR + Fake coral' tank

[lkoivoon]

Tank filled with water.... nothing much to see actually.......

[lkoivoon]

Skimmer in action.

Good news for me .... water flowing from the overflow pipe is strong and stable enough to drive the skimmer. Hopefully, it will be the same after salt is added.

Notice there are still bubbles at the glass box outlet - Howver, no bubbles seen at the tank at all. Anyway, should be able to further reduce the bubbles by putting more floss into the glass box + raise the water level to just below the floss.

Sump - Left side.

Wire a bit messy. Will tidy it up.........

Full view....

I have an idea to protect the electrical sockets from water splash (safety first) - will post some pics later.

I also have a weird idea to inject the iozone. I don't want to inject iozone directly into the skimmer (which many people did) as the skimmer is too expensive for me - again will post some pics later.
