We have a spare 20g tall tank that we are looking to start a FOWLR SW Tank, we have been keeping FW for a few years now. Looking to stay FOWLR for now to keep costs down as we are aggressively saving for our wedding this fall. Looking to do about 20lbs of sand with 20lbs of Live rock or so and maybe just a pair of false clowns with a clean up crew. From talking to friends in the hobby they seem to agree that mechanical filtration really won't be needed on this small of a tank if I keep on top of water changes, I do have a spare Emperor Penguin 280 but it seems its more trouble then its worth to use?
I have refined my parts list (christmas list for the wife/family) to...
1 of the 425's for in the tank

Planning on just getting purified/distilled water from the grocery store for now.
The tank will be viewable from both sides. Attached a pic, view is from our bedroom looking into our office
Anybody have anything to add? They are bugging me for a list so I wanted to get it finalized.
Thanks,
Matt
