Confused: Reef Vs. Fish Only

[kevinf]

I'm a little confused as the difference bewteen these two. I'm guessing that a reef is better equiped for inverts and anenomes. So waht exactly are the differences? What about equipment wise? If I set up a fish only and I wanted clowns, could I still out an anenome in there? Also, anyone got a link to some good pics comparing the two?
Thanks!!!!

There are a few differences but one of the main differences is that a reef tank has mainly corals, polyps, anemones and all that stuff and only a few fish. Fish only is when mostly you just have fish, maybe live rock but thats basically it. You can still have anemones in fish only. Also you'll notice that reef tanks often look much more prettier, at least they do IMO.

You need good lights to take care of an anenome.
