Johnny Reefer's FOWLR

[Johnny Reefer]

Changes soon forthcoming in December.
Here’s a “before” shot of the FOWLR tank. (135g to be upgraded to a 180g).
No sump running at all.
Water circ is by way of 4 MaxiJet 1200s only.
Been running skimmerless since mid September due to unreliable HOB skimmer.
Fluidized Bed filter removed and gone for good.
XP3 filter on the bottom left running nothing but Nitrate Sponge for nitrate control.




Here’s a shot of the new 70g sump.
(It will not be used on this stand, as photographed. The sump will sit down on the floor, beside the display tank).
Live Rock will go in the first chamber and the second chamber, in those baskets under the skimmer.
The ‘fuge will have a 2” sandbed and I’m going to use Chaeto as the nutrient exporter.
The canister will run carbon and RowaPhos.
