Okay guys I am planning way ahead here for my eventual reef conversion from FOWLR
I was thinking this:
I currently have a 55gal setup and was thinking of keeping that as a center display tank with fish and LR. i wanted to place overflow boxes off to each side draining into a 20gal long (or high haven't decided) on each side, which would both then drain into a sump pumping back into the center tank. In each of the 20gal longs would be a reef setup with LR and requisite lighting. I am figuring this way the overall water system would be about 110 gal (55 gal center, 2 x 20 side tanks, 20 gal sump.
I figured this way, I could house some of the pretty non reef safe fish and inverts, but still have the nice looking colorful corals on either side.
What do you guys think?
