The return of my 4x2x2.5(h) FOWLR after about 2 years

[samchenz]

Hi ,

After I stopped my marine tank previously, as I was moving house, I did abit of fresh water community tank but later in my heart I still kind of missed marine fishkeeping. So I decided to return....and this time I go for bare bottom (I mean the tank of course) with live rocks.

Also I will not be getting a chiller this time because afraid that it will be noisy and wake up the baby........of couse also to save electricity. So it will be a FOWLR....

[samchenz]

Took leave to clear the fresh water stuff and to do some re-piping & cleaning etc etc......very siong ....like world zone...lucky no one at home.

All set and ready to bring in the "ocean" (water+salt)...

[samchenz]

Got this bucket of Coralife salt......haiz...later then realised should have bought 2 buckets instead.... why?

Because to achieve the salinity....had to empty the whole bucket at on shot!!

Think this bucket left there to collect dust for a while...
