Which one do you prefer? When anwsering, don't think about money and not reef safe fish. Pretend everything was reef safe,

Reef!! Hands down.
Fish are super cool and all, but I love the challenge of keeping a reef tank. The colors, the movement, the mystery.
What do you prefer??

I personally like FOWLR, but with a little corals and inverts. Not so much corals that I can't have fish, but FOWLR with a few corals and inverts. Would that still be considered FOWLR, or once you put even 1 coral or invert it becomes reef?

Reef.
FOWLR= Fish Only With Live Rock.
It sounds like you are a reef man. Nice.

There is no such thing as ONE coral. When you get your first coral you will understand.

Well, depending on the coral you would have either a fish tank with one coral or the beginning of a reef tank. The reason I say you would have the beginning of a reef is because even if you only have one coral you would still need to have a system that supports corals, and if you're going to go to the trouble of maintaining that system for one coral, you might as well get another coral, and another, and another....

But if I came across a tank with one sinularia or a single toadstool leather, I would not say to myself, " now THERE'S a reef"
