Good evening everyone ... last week I asked about the RedSea 130D as a FOWLER system and received good feedback. However, the closer I look at these 'self-contained' systems, I am wondering if I need everything they offer.
So if I have learned correctly, to have a healthy FOLWER system all I really need are:
• Aquarium
• Hood w/ Basic Lighting
• Protein Skimmer
• Power Head
• Heater
If fish quantities are within the limits of the aquarium size and stocked sufficiently with live rock for biological filtration, is the above list all I actually need? I'm thinking I don't need all the 3 or 4-stage filtration, bio-ball, carbon inserts, etc. most of these plug n' play systems include ...
Thanks for any clarification!
