Here's some pics of my 55g FOWLR tank, re-aquascaped it this weekend. Thanks to the forum, it helped me a ton during set-up:

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Now the wait begins but I'm headfirst into researching a good stocklist, clean-up crew & general upkeep. I wish yellowtailed damsels & clowns got along better as I love both fish, but have read too many negatives about fighting. I also wish there was a...

My first FOWLR & first saltwater tank. Got my 60lbs of Aragonite in two days ago, threw 35lbs of eco dry Fiji in there and added 40lbs of live Fiji last night. After the huge sandstorm settled, here's what it looks like, thanks for all your help on here!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I had a few quick questions, sorry if they seem a bit dumb: Since I'm starting the tank fresh without any stock, do I just - Load the sand in, load the live rock in (cured or pre-cured) - turn on the protein skimmer (do I need to run this for...

Thanks Tony, yes I have a Coralife aqualight that will be running 2 55w 50/50 bulbs.

Hi all, my first post here, been a wonderful resource setting up my first 55g FOWLR after being a freshwater keeper for years. I've been doing my research and just wanted to check on a few quick things. I didn't want to go with a sump on my tank as I'm a bit unfamiliar with how they work and...
