hehe..picture of the sump...one part clam viewing gallery..the other part macroalgae garden...

i not putting the tank in the balcony...so no cantilever-load bearing problems...hehe...

well you can't go further then a 6 footer just remember that but I guess those reefers don't really know what they're talking about in the first place. One says it's safe if it's not on a balcony and the other argues it is :sick: probably envious or something :lol: what ? 5 years of civil engineering school makes them an expert? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Just a tentative plan...may not go ahead in the end if things do not turn out as expected..but anyway, this is the first overhead draft of the main tank.... the blue are drainage pipes...the red is the return pipe...to be directed to the center of the tank spraying in 2 directions....making surface agitation..

with 2 brown tunzes creating underwater currents...

just wanna start a thread to log my progress on this project...

Bro ,

really dun understand y u need 2 tunze for FOWLR :blink::blink:

Hmmm..build a highway to connect the two tanks...then the fishes can swim between the 2 tanks. Best if you can mount the highway on the ceiling above the living room..then after watching tv can look up and observe your fish swimming above..lol..tink i'm mad. :D

Always something more important than fish.

yea.. but would have to half empty my tank first... then drill a big hole for the fishes and water to do through... and i reckon that i would also need to modify my sump... and upgrade the pump to a high pressure one.. dunno if it would work or not... need to do some calculations.... cos have to join two 12mm glass with a hole.. say 16" in diameter.... hmmmm :heh:

what do you think???

probably the first one... and then have a tunze at each end... should have enough currents hor.... ;)

if you want a FOWLR system, a Tunze isn't that necessary. utilising of a close loop system will be good. check out the one my friend did for me.

I'm not sure about internal circulation yet. haven't tested it yet *no fish how to test!*

but I can tell you that there is surface agitation all over. (=
