After a year of fiddling with my FOWLR tank (it's still going strong that tank), my hands got a little itchy and decided to set this small tank in my room.

It is a 2ft by 1ft by 1ft tank

with T5 3 blue 1 white tubes...

an overflow systen with a sump of the same size.

I'm still fiddling with the return pipe. That's why it looks a litte odd there. As for the water flow, I'm trying to keep it very low to cater for the coral that hate high turbulence.

I just added the live rock and sand. Did up the rockscape to my liking, making sure I have ample space for the corals I intend to get.

Cycling has commenced with bits of supermarket prawn. I'm giving it a full 30 days so it's the 20th of April when I'll add any form of livestock.

The liverock did come with a few neat hitch-hikers. A few mushrooms and some zoas.

There'll be mostly inverts in this tank and perhaps a pair of fish. Nothing more.

Likely candidates for the fish would be:

Orchid Dottybacks

Gobies

Any reccomendations from the experienced here? All and any help is welcome.

I'm also leaning towards the prospect of have a Green Star Polyp lawn. Any pointers there would also be awesome.

Here is the picture I took an hour ago.

Maybe spend a bit more effort to look for nicely shaped rocks. Then scape a bit more caves and plateaus. Better for water flow and easier to place corals too. Look for small frags of corals for nano sized tanks

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
