Is 2ft FOWLR tank too small?


Recommended Posts

Thinking of setting up a 2ft FOWLR tank. Mainly will be to keep 1 majestic, 1 coral beauty, 1-2 tangs, a trigger, couple of clown fishes.

Any one using a 2ft FOWLR? Is this too small? Coz I have a spare 2ft tank and not planning to throw it away and buy a 3ft tank for now.

You asked these type of question sure get tons of answer telling you 2ft is way too small :P

Actually I'm asking because I want to find excuse to throw away my 2ft and get another 6ft for FOWLR. hehehe

No lah.. economy is bad....and no space for another 6ft liao. Just stick to a 2ft law... But your 2ft is twice the size of my 2ft since yours is square tank.

i believe urs is the common 2 ft 2X1X1.5, which is too small for majestic + tangs somemore u dun hav a sump....

if u wanna keep a FOWLR in that, keep small n simple fishes like a couple of clownfishes or a few damsels, firstly, u dun realli hav to care so much abt ur bioload, u can just change its water using ur main tank water and when bioload is low, simple equipments and stuffs will do ;).... a specimen onli tank can be realli intersting too!

Hi ...

oh the trigger veri peaceful one... it the blue lobster that kept disturbing the trigger whenever it has a chance...........

the trigger quite tame but would give a nasty bite cos once i was picking up something from the tank.. it gave me a bite and cause two small hole on my hand ...

:D
