R2R FOWLR Experts,
I currently have a 300G mixed reef, but I'm strongly considering putting in a 100G-ish FOWLR as well. Actually, I'd like to have a "modified" FOWLR with some coral, other inverts, decorative macroalgae, etc. in it if possible. And, hence, my question: what type of other stuff can I put in a tank that'll have triggers, angels, etc.? I really want the look of a mixed reef, but with a bunch of reef unsafe fish that I've always wanted but could never get. Can I put anemones in? Are there types of coral that these fish will usually leave alone? Any cool inverts I can put in without too much worry? I really don't like the look of just live rock and fish---and I'd really prefer not going the fake coral route (even though there are now some really nice albeit quite expensive options on that front these days).
Please let me know what's worked for you! Many thanks in advance!
