Question!

Dear fellow reefers...

Was wondering... Which is easier to maintain? A fowlr or a reef tank?

I do weekly water change for my reef tank. Do I need to do the same for a fowlr? Is there anything thing that I need to take note that is different from a reef tank?

FOWLR tank is definitely more easier to maintain since the water parameter requirement is lesser as compare to a Reef tank. However for a Fish only system, you need to take note not to overstock and a diseases outbreak may just wipe off all your fish at one go.

For a fish only system, if you have a good skimmer and biological filtration system, i feel you can leave the water change to once a month instead of weekly. Fishes has a higher torrance of N03 and P04 so it is ok . Just monitor on the ammonia and PH of your system.

You need not do a 3 part dosing anymore, maybe only trace elements , vitamin C to maintain the health and coloration of your fish.
