FOWLR Begins!

Hi, SW fans, I'm back. I just converted a 72 bow front to a FOWLR tank. THe water is crystal clear, gonna check levels later and see about adding some inhabitants.

Here's a picture!

I'll post up more as the tank progresses.

Seems like only yesterday you were a freshwater guy... wait that was yesterday

Cant believe you get that going so fast! Looking good!

Thanks! I'm a little on the impulsive side..hah hah

I'm thinking I will make this a trigger tank! When I get back from vacation in a week or so.

Nice, looks good.. when i finally get my sw tank up and running i'm gonna do a FOWLR Trigger tank..

I changed the rock work around to make two distinct caves, an area of rubble and rocks and an open sandy area. Got to give the cleaning crew places to hide and some cover for the triggers.

There's a Niger Trigger in the tank too, but he is in hiding..lol. Kevin at APFP sold me the trigger and his home as a package deal..lol..now the fish comes out, but if I get near the tank he darts back into the shell. I'll get a pic eventually.

The Niger Trigger..from across the room with the zoom on my DROID phone..close as I can get to the tank when he is out without him dipping into his shell. Pic is crappy, but it shows his size, about 4"

whenever you grow tire of this tank let know

You know me, man. I do things a little different, but it's all from reading up on it. These guys are eating like pigs! I got to get video of them going nuts on a cube of blood worms, it's awesome!

Its so weird to see my rock in someone elses tank, I look at each picture and I can distinguish wall the diffrent ways I had thos same rocks set up. Btw your nuts dude!!! Super fast, all in, get er done type. I like it!!! It looks great can't wait to see the video.

It took a while, but I found him!

No one expects stealth blenny. No one.

that's a cool little fish

If I went salt I would also want a trigger and lion fish too.

Some day I will do a salt water tank. Who knows. Im just getting started in the fresh water.

A couple friends of mine have some tanks they might be able to get their hands on. Maybe I can talk them into selling to me. I know one of them is 250 and another is 500, not sure of the other sizes.

So who knows, I get my hands on a 500, that could free up a nice 120 square to turn into salt. HMMMMMMM

And then you could do an African cichlid tank...

My absolute favorite s/w fish is a draw between a clown tang & dwarf flame angel. Just my personal favorites.

My personal favorites are the Harlequin Tuskfish, and the Panther Grouper. But I would want a trigger and a lion fish in the mix.

neat fish...but i have one question.

Seeing that i am a complete noob when it comes to salt water...as in iv never done one and have very little knowledge on them..what exactly is a FOWLER tank?.

No "E'" in it.

Fish Only With Live Rock - FOWLR

I believe thats it.

DMD is correct!

There is now a Fox Face in the tanks! Yet another venomous fish!

Foxfaces are cool too, nice dude. Keep the pictures coming!

Like he said.
keep the pictures coming!
