In this episode, I reveal the first residents of my new 200-gallon FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) tank—including a bold panther grouper and a pair of maroon clownfish. I’ll walk through how I prepared the tank with Dr. Tim’s nitrifying bacteria, the importance of patience when cycling, and how I drip acclimated the fish on arrival. Plus, I’ll unbox and install custom lids to keep my future pufferfish and snowflake eel safe inside. Follow along as I share the excitement, challenges, and lessons of setting up this unique aggressive saltwater aquarium!
