Hang on, your equipement seems like its more for marine tank leh. refugium? Prizm? Ozone generator? All for marine one. So is this a conversion from marine where you use back your equipe cause if I'm not wrong no need Prizm, refugium and ozone generator for the above setup.

Super cosy tank..... Best.

Thanks for the kind comments, bros.

Bro, you are correct as to the foam fractionator, ozone generator and refugium. None of this is "necessary" for freshwater.

But this was never a marine tank that I converted to FW. I set this stuff up to create a healthier environment for the fish. Everything serves a useful purpose. A lot of bros on these forums use these, especially the ozone.

It's a black back acrylic tank.

Thanks again for the comments, bros.

A visual feast of fish, rock and plants colours. Good job!
