Apart from all the usual stuffs of starting a new tank..

IMHO..1st most important advise is size of tank.. for FOWLR usually need bigger tank (min 4ft).. unless u intend to keep only 1 angelfish (but even if 1 angelfish, I still find it to be a torture to a big angelfish).. try to go for the maximum tank size u can have (your budget & commitment 1st priority to gauge.. bigger tank = more $$$ & time).. QT all new fish b4 releasing into DT (must be trained to eat especially pellets).. more more more

Welcome back to reefing..

hope to see photos coming soon..

Run a check list on the type of fish that you wish to place into your FOWLR.

Try to deposit them in such a manner that the most aggressive is the last.

And I agreed with the above on the fact that they must feed on pellets for optimum chance to survive in tank.

Plan for minimal maintenance effort; which is to plan for maximum ease in maintenance access. I find this a critical factor in sustainability.

A FOWLR tends to be high in NO3. So plan on how you intend to keep that in check. That would probably influence your sump design on the equipment you plan to put inside.

Last but not least, have fun.
