Anyone here use TBS package with a fowlr?

[sjm817]

I'm getting ready to order a 90G package next week. I've had some correspondence with TBS and all seems good. Most people here seem to be using it for reef setups. Mine will be fowlr, and I am hoping someone could share how it worked for them.

Again, 90G tank. Lighting is 3 x T8 48" 32W fluorescent strip, 96W total.

Plus Live Rock will be the predominate ingredient to your tank so you will want rock that has life on it, such as, bivalves, feather dusters, sponges, worms, gorgonians, hard corals, algae, crustaceans, and much other life that occurs on rock we supply with The Package.

Will all that cool stuff on the rock live with that amount of light in my fowlr setup?

Cycling. How much water will I typically need to change during the cycle on a 90G tank? Any exp with that would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Howdy SJM817,

I'll be honest. If you do a FOWLR with TBS you will wind up with a reef.

There is so much life on the rocks that you wind up with a great selection of critters. Granted the right (or wrong) fish will eventually eat most of them. I think that TBS has a recommendation for having a certain multiple of your water volume mixed and ready when you receive the package (.5? 1? I can't remember).
