Show off your FOWLRs!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aj Flip]

im thinking of making my first tank a FOWLR instead of a reef for the following reasons
1: its cheaper and im not rich
2: easier to care for
3: requires less time
4: less problems with things eating/ stinging corals

so show me your FOWLRs (FTS preferred) ad try to convince me im headed in the right direction.

Maybe in the future when i can afford MH i will get a bigger tank and switch to reef, as for now, i got a 75g with actinics and daylights, aqua medic skimmer, mag 12 return.

tank is still empty so i can still decide what to do with it

thanks

Don't want to come off as mean, but just look through this part of the forum, like past threads, theres tons and tons of people who ask the same thing, and tons and tons of people who show off their tanks, just go back a lil bit and you'll find plenty.

in the last 3 months there has been two or three such threads..... you'll see pretty much ALL the nice RC FOWLR that way.... you might half of them at best this way.....

fowlr is certainly easier..... but I prefer to think of it as pseudo reefing, rather than as a different disipline..... in my view, you still need to do the same things, you can just be more relaxed about how you do it......

equipment..... the only thing you can skimp on really is lighting, in my view..... you still need a good skimmer, good flow, good return and decent sump......

Good luck,

Matt
