I took down my 75g Leemar and moved to a smaller tank. A friend wants to get in the hobby and I am helping think through setting up a FOWLR tank using my 75.
It is currently set up as a reef. Is there any reason the reef set up won't work for a FOWLR?
FILTRATION QUESTION:
My sump has a skimmer section, small Refugium and return pump compartment. I was thinking of converting the largest section I used for a skimmer into a large Refugium and maybe running a smaller skimmer. Will that work?
Am I better off getting a canister filter?
Is there a suggested media for FOWLR?
CIRCULATION QUESTION:
I have two Tunze 6095's. Is that overkill for a FOWLR? Would I be better off selling them and getting something cheaper?
LIGHTING:
Any suggestions? It's a 48" tank. I was looking at some of the lower end LED strips on Marine Depot. I also like the Aquatic Life options with built in timers
What else do I need to think about?
