Lets see some FOWLR tanks!

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I would love to see some FOWLR tanks and maybe whats under the stand, set up, sump, ect.

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Hmmmm...No one??? I was just curious to see some nicely aquascaped FOWLR tanks!

[mark]

might have to put your own picture up to get it going

[sphelps]

I have a few pictures of a FOWLR I use to have, didn't have anything special for rock work though. The filtration was pretty crappy to:

The end result was me eliminating the tank as I didn't want to spend the $$ upgrading the equipment to my new standards. But I did get some pictures out of it, has the tank for about 1.5 years.

I've been hearing about how amazing this tank is for years now, yet I've still never seen it. Let's see those pics Rob.

Yeah I guess I should have started the thread with my own tank:mrgreen:

I am currently "re-plumbing" for a closed loop, so the powerheads are temporary...

i guess since mine is without corals it qualifies (with the exception of some star polyps that came on the rock) its still fairly new, and planning to move into a 90 once i get the new plumbing all figured out.

Slipstream-Everyone has to start somewhere and I don't think anyone would laugh at that! You just need to slowly add Live Rock as you can afford and get it. Eventually It will all come together!

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Brighteyes-Looks good! Your LR has lots of nice coraline growth. Did it come from a reef set up?

[Brighteyes_13]

i recieved my rock from 2 local reefers, very fortunate, both tanks were mature, one was reef, turned to FOWLR (got rid of some rock to make room for the fish), the darker pieces are from a FOWLR. eventually id like to get some softies and LPS, but im still nervous with my current light setup and wont have the ability to upgrade for another several months. But for now, i still get my fish :)


i just realized i didnt post my most recent... not much different, just a lil more algae, and my angelfish

I agree, but youd be surprised the responses i have gotten from people about it.. Specially cause of the fake plants.

[spoot]

Looking good justin! How do you get your sleeper goby to come out in the open? I used to have 2, but one day one vanished mysteriously. And the other one has been hiding ever since, only coming out to eat when I drop in food. It's not bullying cuz at the moment it's the only fish in my 75.

Such a shame about your s&s, he was such a looker!

Yeah Im still upset about him...Mostly I think because it was so sudden and I have absolutely no idea still what happened. No obvious disease and nothing in the water I could test. Really a mystery still to me. :sad:

My Goby swims all the time throughout the tank. The water really is never clear though because he is always stirring the sand! Hes a very active fish actually and will even steal food from the porcupine Puffers mouth:surprise:

[spoot]

that's awesome, i really wish mine would come out more! What else are you going to put in that tank?

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Well I just took my last fish (for now) out of QT and put them in the display...4 Chalk Bass. I have always wanted schooling fish that get along and these are them! I really like these little guys. So far though they are just hiding and scared of the big fish. Hopefully all of them will make it and get to their 3" adult size...Yeah not so big but fast and I think they will be able to hold their own with the puffers.

So with these guys, Im getting close to full even with the big skimmer and refugium...

Porcupine Puffer
Green Spotted Puffer
Orange Lyretail Anthias
Flame Angel
4 Chalk Bass
Golden Head Sleeper Goby
Yellow Tail Damsel
Long Nose Butterfly
Long Nose Hawkkfish
Flasher Wrasse

Its funny how things work though, before loosing Crush, the tank was to be only him, the porcupine and my eel. Big change in plans when he was not in the picture anymore and a lot of smaller fish. Its kind of nice actually. I like having all the movement and color!

Any ideas of what might fit in nicely??? Im thinking another Goby and a Clown because in my years of fishkeeping, I have still never owned a clown!
