Fish Only Tanks! - FOWLR/FOT’s Pictures

dyno · May 13, 2020

Any Reef2Reefers’ here as crazy about the coral eaters as they are about corals? Anyone crazy about larger aggressive fish like Angels, Triggers, and Puffers? I found no stickies or picture threads for Fish Only Tanks. That is not acceptable....... who has a fish only system? I would love to see your tanks. Here are a few pictures of my fish friends!

I do, but am low on data, can upload some pictures later.

FOwLR is the way to go. Better, larger and cooler fish, and a third of the pricetag of setting up a reef.

I hope to set up a large FOWLR 300+ gallon in a year or so...maybe sooner who knows

Like the idea. Planning a fish only system in a few years.

the way coral prices are going I think more will be joining the fun!

Prices are up for everything with COVID, doubt they will ever be the same again! There are so many fun and interesting fish that you can't keep in a reef tank. I prefer nano reefs to enjoy corals and invertebrates and large FOT's.

Trying to decide this very thing! Looking for a new tank which isn't so deep and hopefully easier to maintain. Undecided on AIO or frag.

I need some ideas. Show me your aquascapes! I plan on getting a slightly used redsea 750xxl tank soon!

Devaji · Aug 17, 2020

guess there not many fish only peeps on here?

I don’t have this rockwork set up the same way anymore— in fact I’m getting ready to replace this modified frag tank with two (2) 180 gallon tanks— but it was a pretty sweet FOWLER.

how are you finding your flame and coral beauty getting along in a 60?

Nice tank! My future "big tank" is going to be FOWLR as I really really want a clown trigger and some other larger notso reef friendly fish lol. Hoping to go with something at least 250g, but maybe up to 450g.

Well, I have had a flame with a Coral Beauty in both this setup and my previous setup (a 45 gallon FOWLR), and they got along just fine in both cases. But in both setups I have had a lot of structure in the tank. I no longer have the Flame Angel in my setup (due to a stupid mistake I made that caused the tank to cycle and wipe out my fish population), so now there's just a Coral Beauty, two Maroon Clowns, a Blue Damsel and a Javanese Damsel.

I love FOWLR. I am doing one (if they ever finish building my tank). I’m only doing a 40g breeder and I have a thing for puffer fish so a valentini is what I’m thinking. I know 40g is tiny for a FOWLR tank and really limits options but I already have a 90g planted tank a 25g planted tank and a 32g Axolotl tank. I had to be realistic about it....
