Originally Posted by BigTankBigFish sounds like filtration overkill. Most people would use the fuge or the canister. T5 is overkill for FOWLR but i cant say anything because I have T5 on a fowlr and it is AWESOME! I guess the filtration would really depend on how many fish your trying to put...

I am going with a 29/30 gallon aquarium,with a HOB fuge,skimmer and a fluval canister filter and t5 lighting for a FOWLR. Any other suggestions?

Ok guys. So what is the best kiond of lighting for a FOWLR?

Ok,I wont. I'll stick with a 30 gallon.....what does CAD mean?

Ok,so your basically saying that it comes with ALL of the proper filtering needed to have a lasting tank? Say a skimmer,refugium...etc?

Do either of these come ready to rock? I heard they come with the lighting and wet/dry filtration. I was wondering besides LR and sand if there is anything else we would need to buy to get it up and running?

How long should I cycle a 30 gallon tank before adding fish?

Congrats! I would love to find a deal like that...lucky!!! So what type of tank are you planning on having? I am about to start a FOWLR soon. Good luck and congrats again on your find.

If you have a fluval canister like I do,it is best to only change/clean half of the media,due to the fact that there are good bacteria in there helping to keep your water clean.

Originally Posted by socal57che I forgot to include the sarcastic smilie again. I don't see why not. Just make sure you have enough room for the ball of chaeto to mave around and grow. If you use caulerpa, monitor it, prune it regularly and keep a light on it 24/7 to help keep it from...
