Hello all

[dmward99]

Do we have a forum here on WAMAS dedicated to FOWLR tanks? Interested in seeing some tanks that are dedicated to aggressive fish only.I have been a member for sometime and would like to get some ideas from tanks with aggressive fish( I am planning to get a tank going soon).Also is there someone here that buffs scratches out of acrylic tanks?

I have a FOWLR 180 gallon that I've had up and running for about 2 years. I will try and dig up pics and post them. Currently, I have Yellow Tang, Orange Shoulder, Picasso Trigger, Lunare Wrasse and a snowflake eel. They are all compatible and seem to get along fine. The snowflake has several times mistook one of my fish for food and drug them under the rocks but they always seem to wiggle away ungharmed. One note is that it is hard to keep coralline growing because they constantly eat it (mainly the picasso).

 

No snails will survive so I have urchins that reproduce and do a pretty good job of keeping the tank clean.

I think a lot of people here have either fish only or started out that way. The only difference I see is that without corals a person can get away with spending less on equipment and can pick from a larger variety of fish.

i had a fowlr for about a week until i saw all the corals i can get if i got a better light & skimmer.

 

i agree that wamas should have a link dedicated to fowlr systems.

Your urchins reproduce?

 

Are the offspring viable? If they survive, I'd love to get a handfull of small urchins now and then.
