So it's time to start a new tank.
It's getting close to 4 years now that I've had a 125 gallon reef, and for 2 of those years I also had a 30 gallon reef.
I've decided now to start a new tank, it will be a 29 gallon FOWLR tank, but I'm also planning on including a set-up from instantreef.com. In a couple of weeks I'm going to set everything up and run clean water through it for a few days to clean everything, but in the meantime, I have a few questions regarding FOWLR care.
Up until this point, I've only ever kept coral. In a way, that kind of made things easier; the more you can test for, the more you can control. My first question regarding this new set up is what do I actually do? The reason I'm going with FOWLR is because I'm hoping to minimize maintenance. What supplements (if any) does a FOWLR tank need? I'm hoping to not need to treat with calcium and alkalinity if possible.
For now, I've modeled what the tank should look like with the instantreef setup, I appreciate any advice.
