Don’t tell my fish, but I’m usually more interested in what the corals and inverts are getting up to.
I like a reef that feels and looks like a rich ecosystem.

A few years ago I had a FOWLR but when I upgraded to a 125 I went soft corals only with fish.Hey guys, I've really been enjoying flowing the threads in our new FOWLR forum, and it's even got me thinking that I might consider running a FOWLR myself one of these days. After all, there are lots of good arguments for why these tanks are really cool! So what about you?
1) Would you ever consider keeping a Fish Only tank?
2) What are some reasons you would or wouldn't consider it?
By the way, if you haven't yet, be sure to check out the new FOWLR forum here on Reef2Reef!
Here is @kados FOWLR tank. I really dig that scape and that collection of fish!

I had a reef tank with a snowflake eel in it and there were never any issues. I kept him fed so maybe that is whyThe only reason I want one is to keep fish that can't go in reef tanks. Lion fish, eels, sharks, harlequin tusk stuff like that. But I do worry that it would get poring for me without the inverts and corals.
Wow, do you have a thread in the Monster tanks section? If not, please create one!Here is my FOWLR. 1700gal. Its been running for about 4 yrs now. Recently installed a biopellet reactor to try and work down the nitrates. Lost several fish about 1 1/2 yrs ago from an ick outbreak. Its been treated with copper and seems good since then. I am hesitant to add new fish since this group has been together for quite a while now - not sure how they will treat newcomers;Chicken. I'll have to do it at some point though - probably a batch of 1/2 a dozen.
My starfish is always in the rocks. I saw him yesterday. It’s always an event when he comes out.Nice. I am starting up my own FOWLR and this is definitely inspiring. How is the Harlequin Tusk with the Starfish? I want to add a star to my own tank but am afraid the Tusk will bother it.
Did it ever go after shrimps or crabs? That's my biggest concern.I had a reef tank with a snowflake eel in it and there were never any issues. I kept him fed so maybe that is why
Yeah that's the thing though. I love inverts more than I love those fish.Those fish are all safe with corals, just not inverts. I've made my peace with having a "predator reef" full of mean fish with a background of pretty corals.
