Yes, a newbie here, another on info overload. I'm doing lots of research before I take the plunge trying to decide what's right for me.
Back to my question. As I understand it, the FOWLR can/does mean live sand, too, if there is a DSB. Is this correct? And it also means fish and inverts, right? So the main difference is that there are no corals? No anemone?
The equipment differce seems to manifest itself primarily where lighting is concerned, correct? The corals need more light and certain amounts of specific spectrums of light.
When one committs to reef, does that mean more water flow is necessary?
Finally (and thank you for your patience), is it difficult to convert FOWLR to reef to a mature tank?
Thanks a million!
