Who's into fish-only?? Can we see some FOWLR photos?

[Bizzie]

Hey Reef2Reefers!!! I think FOWLRs are highly underrated! I'd love to see some of your fish-only tanks! Show 'em off!!

Here’s my Cade 1800 FOFN (fish only for now) tank. It’s almost 1 month post cycle; just starting the fish stocking.

I’m going to be setting up a FOWLR tank next summer. Two summers ago I broke my ankle and lost my reef tank because of it. It was a bad break and I wasn’t allowed to do much. My husband refused to help with tank maintenance and I lost all my corals, my Tiger pistol shrimp, most of my fish and all but one of my hermit crabs. I spent almost a year trying to get my water chemistry sorted out. Talk about a roller coaster ride! A few months ago I lost my last Yellow Tang. So I finally gave up trying to save the reef. I moved my remaining 4 fish and my last hermit crab into my quarantine tank. I’m moving in the spring so they’re going to stay there while I get my big tank set up at the new house then they’ll be the first residents in a FOWLR set up.

180, love fish only, what phosphate?

Does not having corals raise your phosphate levels?

Awesome selection of fish

Thanks. Many are dream fish that I always wanted. That is just a portion of the stocking.

Maybe a little, my comment was too joke that PO4 doesnt really matter in FO. However, I am now actively trying to get it low to remove all the algae you see

Some of these are really amazing... with some incredible species included! Love the conspics!

That why I was asking. I had a FOWLR tank but was constantly battling algae no matter what I did. I want to start up a new AIO tank without the algae mess this time.

Just got this up and running— still a few microbubbles from the new skimmer, and waiting for the UV sterilizer to kick in.

I’m loving this thread. Have a 125 g reef and about to add a 65g FOWLR and a 50 g lowboy frag tank to my system. Looking forward to being able to buy some of the beautiful fish that aren’t reef compatible

Just some recent fish pics!

Considering my luck with coral it may as well be a FOWLR tank.

I have a reef tank with good filtration via sump but I have a fowlr set up at my in laws with a canister filter(chemipure blue, purigen and phosguard/phosban) and obviously I’m not able to monitor it very closely so what are some HARDY fowlr fish For their tank??

 

[JumboShrimp]

What size tank, @ReefHomieJon ? Any fish in there yet, or are you starting with a blank slate?

what about adding a HOB ATS? or DIY a canister style ATS. I think that would help out.

Here's my 90 fowler. I have a hawkfish, bird wrasse, heniochus and foxface right now. I plan to add a white tail bristletooth tang and a starry blenny. Would love a female wantanabei angelfish too.
