Your plans sound cool

What will the dimensions of the new tank be with the extra 2" on?

Also, how come the lion is going?

Sweat, its always good when others confirm the ideas I have!

What will the dimensions of the new tank be with the extra 2" on?

Its going to be an extra 2" front to back. (Width??? lol, im having a slow day)

Also, how come the lion is going?

Ahhhh, he aint going, he is being moved! I just got my replacement part for a leaking eheim 2028 external, so im going to make FOWLR and pull down my old planted system. This way I can add small shrimp and smaller fish to my reef, without the fear of a $40+ fish being eaten upon introduction!

but he was ok with the clowns? or they had some sort of mutal fear/respect? and he got along fine in the 20 gal?

How big is the planted tank?

The clown was fine, and the clown was deffinately not fearful of the lion.

How big is the planted tank?

Its 30gal.

 

[Mr Miagi]

It has begun! (As posted in Members Fish/Aquarium Pics, more pics in that thread).

Here is the finished product of three days work, with a fine layer of aragonite sand in the bottum, my trusty Lee's air driven Skimmer going, which has been pulling alot of colour form the water, and some small chunks of LR rubble to try and get some of the beneficial tube worms in the sand.

Tommorrow, im driving 160Kms too Burra in SA's North to collect 40Kgs of primium grade LR form a mate (Thanks alot Roop) for FREE! Im also getting Mushrooms, a pair of large clowns, 7 chromis, snails, live sand, all for free, and another 3ft tank for $100AUS. Im also bringing back a huge assortment of livestock for other fellow reefers here in Adelaide! Cant wait!

[Siamese Fighter05]

Yea that's what i was thinking. No way would my mum drive me miles to grab some bargains so i can do it myself when i pass

 

[Matthew5664]

Looking v good there Mr Miagi!! Can't wait for the updates

You've got me thinking of taking down my planed Ram tank and making it a FOWLR.

Sf05> Cars the way forward with this hobby

 

[Mr Miagi]

I drove to Burra, drove back to Adelaide, and back to my place. I was nackered, but then had to aquascape etc! One clown looked almost dead on arrival, but thanks to an air stone form my skimmer and clean water from the tank, she pulled through.

Scooby, a fellow SA reefer gave me two free corals, a Lobophyllia (yellow) for my reef and a large finger leather! Thats in the FOWLR for now, but ill change positioning in the reef so it gets more light.

Peak-aboo!

Nice tank and some very interesting zoos. Glad the clowns pulled through

Looks very nice, i like the aquascaping, the lights look really dark in that pic though?

What type of clowns are they?

Thanks SkiFletch! Im glad they did too! They are eatin like pigs now!

Dark in tank or around it? Ive only got one 30W flouro n there ATM, 14,000K as its FOWLR, i might move the Leather if it doesnt start to open. Ill get to updating the lights one day so it can go reef. You know how it is, too many projects, so little money! I may end up installing some MH's so I can get a BTA or anemone later for them. They are A. akindynos AKA Barrier Reef Clownfish!

I dont think they are very common in the US or the UK.

 

[SkiFletch]

Not common at all . Very unique for us to see.
