I wanted to setup a FOWLR but I'm reading and talking myself out of it. I don't want to DIY but not sure what company to go with for the under stand wet/dry etc.
HELP
Money is that not that much of an issue that's why I don't want to DIY. I'm not rich or anything but have a good steady job and would spend some $$ to do it right.

Honestly bro, When I started out I had all Wal-Mart equipment.. And everything wqas fine for FOLR that is, as I got money saved I slowly upgraded to a Fuge,MH lighting and things like that now I have a reef going from what started with hang on back Wal-Mart equipment. Start slow and its all good

I guess I'm in

Maintenance won't be a problem because I like tinkering. I already have lots of maintenance with all my radio controlled cars, planes and helicpoters that I either race or fly on a regular basis and they always need attention so that won't be a problem for the aquarium.
I getting "The Bible" and will read that a few times before making any purchases. I guess it's not that hard once you understand the concepts and all.
I had fish tanks and various reptiles when I was a teenager over 20 years ago so what the heck.
In for a penny in for a pound :jumping:
