“The Second Chance” 180g FOWLR System

[Miller Aquatic]

Intro: I’m a 16 year old kid and have dreams of owning a large beautifully stocked tank and I have a feeling I’m gonna fulfill that dream.
I originally had plans for a 135 gallon tank but while transporting it i cracked the front pane.
Devastating to say the very least.

A while after the accident I pulled the trigger on this 180
I am looking forward to keeping some predators in a fish ONLY system.
I’m thinking eels triggerfish angels tangs etc…
So the journey begins…again…

When i got the 135 gallon it came with a stand that I repainted and refinished.

A whole lot of cleaning ahead

heck yeah man. enjoy.
its nice to have the fish you cant keep in a reef.
I have a 200 peninsula running as a FOWLR mine is going to focus on angels and butterflies.
you will find the space fills up fast. already wish I went 2-3X the size. haha

Aquascaping done and cleaning. Now I need to mount this like 30lb light in the ceiling.
The plumbing is the next big thing. I’ve never plumbed a tank before so im a little nervous.( so are my parents)

Nice looking aquascape! Gives you a lot of room for fish, and coral too!

and coral too

I think my angelfish would disagree lol

I’d say it’s looking pretty good so far. Got the lights ceiling mounted in the middle because of how heavy they are. Plumbing is next
