I have a Mix Reef going and it's doing well. My husband keeps asking for fish that I can not put in my reef so I bought him a 75g for a FOWLR tank. This is a new place for me for I have never looked into a FOWLR tank. Ok, so what do I NEED for this tank? Is it the same as a reef? Different lighting? Does the sand bed need to be deep? What CUC would I put in there? Or do we just need to be the CUC? This tank will also be getting a sump under it cause this stand has room for a one piece tank under it. Is there a good article you can point me too? I have some live rock already for the tank cause it was to beautiful to pass up. I talked him into black sand because I feel it will show off his fish better and I know down the road the rocks will darken with algae. I am sure I will have more questions time rolls on and get this more going more.
