New 72 bowfront build

Here are a few photos of my FOWLR tank without the FO lol. I'll be adding some fish today, I'll post some more photos as things progress.








EDIT - NEW photos on page 3

 

good looking start chad. can you give us some of the specs on your tank? how long has it been up and running?

 

i like it. might need more rock sometime. watcha gonna get?

 

Thanks guys. This is an old tank that I had set up about 10 years ago and I am just starting to get back into it. It's been up and running only for 3 days. I introduced two tank raised clowns today and they are doing great. I added one bottle of the live bacteria from my LFS. I will eventually be adding more liverock and getting rid of the other fake stuff in there. I will also be adding different lighting and only 2 or 3 anemones.

 

That is a good start Chad, but one thing too keep in the back of your head is that if you do not start out with very much live rock, and keep adding throughout the cycle or after, your params can go out of whack with the amount of die-off that takes place from the rocks bacteria and what-not. You might want to add a large amount of base rock and a few pounds of live to get you started. I hope the clownfish make it, what kind did you get?

 

thats a nice clean set up what kind of power head is on it?

 

put the nems on the back burner chad. i wouldnt consider one for a minimum 9 months. they need an established tank to live in. or they could end up nuking the whole thing

 

thats a nice looking tank Chad
but that cannsiter filter spray bar is going to give you some problems when the coralline starts to block the holes up - they get clogged really easily and need weekly unplugging with a toothpick after a while.

Looking Good man.
I have the exact same tank, except mine has a built in overflow

 

Judging by the size, i would say its a koralia 3.
Looks the same as mine in my attached image and i use 2 koralia 3's
