#fowlr

Hello! Very new to the hobby, it’s always been my husbands dream to have a reef aquarium. We are starting very small with a 65L FOWLR tank and then if all goes well hope to upgrade/ introduce corals in the future. At the minute we are a couple of months down the line and currently have 3 small...

I have a 135g fowlr tank that’s 72” 24” 18” and it’s going to have no coral but was wondering what lighting you’d recommend. I don’t need much par wise but need fish to look good and would prefer to have a channel/color controller. I was hoping to get something within 250$.(Tell me if I’m...

Background: My journey started in freshwater when I was 12 and once I saw saltwater I was hooked. My parents were heavily intimidated at the thought of saltwater tanks because people made it seem like it’s rocket science. It definitely is harder but not super bad. I got surprised 2 years later...

This is my second ever saltwater tank, so I’m not exactly very confident in my experience. I’ve recently started up a 20gal FOWLR tank (not planning on coral, but i’m looking into some cool macroalgaes). Currently it only has a YWG/randall’s pistol shrimp pair and a bunch of snails. I’m...

Do I need to fill my tank with live rock I have a 55 gallon and I was wondering if I need to get 55 pounds of live rock

I am getting back in the hobby. I have had several Fowlr tanks before my last being a 220 oceanic. Been about 5 or so years since I disassembled it. I have a 374 gallon acrylic tank that I am finalizing with the builder (envision acrylics) as well as a big 5’x18”x18” wet dry trickle filter with...

Does your porcupine puffer eat inverts?

I'm thinking some data collection threads might be helpful? You may or may not have a true FOWLR. Perhaps you have some corals too. Please explain your answer(s) in the thread.

With my new out of quarantined regal angel starting to nip at my SPS, I have decided to dedicate my 180g to a FOWLR tank! (upgrading to 400g in about 1 yr when my friend upgrade). I have since decided on the stock list, with the main focus being peaceful and angelfish! Now, I need some help...

Hi everyone, getting my Reefer 750 (160 gallons) tank soon and planning for it to be a FOWLR tank! Here's my fish wish-list below, anyone suggestion anything else I can add? Looking for lots of color and a variety of species! Fish Banggai Cardinal Fish Lawnmower Blenny Blue Reef Chromis...

Going from reef tank to fowlr with bare bottom. Some type of puffer will be included as the main attraction! 220 tank w/75 gl sump. A few questions: Pros & cons of no corals? Would you add softies for movement? Would you need to dose or just water changes? Light schedule with no corals? Fish...

Hey there! I have been reefing for 7 years and started with a 15 gallon bow front with t5s and a Fluval 306 canister filter and hang on the back fluval filter for extra filtration. I now have a 29g with a external sump, protein skimmer with fluval sea leds with lps, sps, softies and two clowns...

Hi Guys, Hope everyone's doing well. Please note I have a nano marine tank (only with fish) and I'm planning to convert my inbuilt sump freshwater aquarium tank into a fish only marine tank. Will need your advise on below. 1. Since I have an inbuilt sump tank as shown in the pictures can I...

Hi, My name is Dale, from Scotland. In March I picked up my fish ever aquarium! Never even had a gold fish bowl when i was younger. Go big or go home I suppose! I have until now been fully reliant on youtube, my LFS ( who are excellent ) and facebook pages for advice and help but am growing...
