Hi guys, been some time since got into the marine bug. Posting some pics of my simple FOWLR setup.

I know, the rocks seems too much and untidy, but i am storing them for a friend for his 2 feet cube setup in time to come.

Specs:

3x2x2.5(h)

Skimmer: just a simple Reef Octopus!

Lighting: just a 2.5ft FL light!

Supplement: none

Reactor: none

Wave Maker: 3 tunze and a seio

simple tank with few clowns, few shrimps and few crabs..

With a stronger t5..with very little fishes??

my normal power saving low wattage FL!

VERY BUDGET SUMP!but the Reef Octopus seems too be not bad after all!!

Did I see an anemone in the tank?

It is totally bleach. If you do not provide sufficient lighting, it will just waste away soon <_<

I do have 4 sets of t5HO from DE lightings which i seldom on.

But when i got the anemone from reborn 2 yrs ago, already this colour. It''s still growing..

Attached some pics...it does give a faint green luminous color .

bro, yours doesn't look like nano wavemaker.

3 tunze in your 3ft tank, abit like swimming in the washing machine o.o... are they controllable?

there is a tunze 6060,6080 and 6055. i position them so that the blow slight against each other...with the rocks, a nano will not work good enuff to cover more dead spots.

This is interesting. Are you giving it any supplemental feeding? If so, how often?

Any healthy anemone (unless it's deep sea anemone) contains Zooxanthella (brown coloured alga) for it to make its own food.

As i keep arowanas, i do drop some market prawns to it every 3/4 days.

Strangely, I do not have to target feed it. i just have to drop the pcs of market prawn to the tank.

The black clown brings the pc of market prawn to it for it to eat.

Interesting relationship!

BTW, do you think my skimmer is sufficient? Thinking of upgrading it. Any views on it?

Thanks in advance bro!

haha! ya! it's so fun to watch this, however some clowns will snatch and eat it, some will bring the food to it.
