Have not seen a thread on this subject in my search so here goes. We started with FO. Then moved to FOWLR. Then somehow - don't ask me, hubby decided chunk (clown) needs an anemone. I started looking into it. If we get chunk an anemone, the anemone needs a sand bed. Fine. I can do a sand bed (it is CC now).
If we DO get an anemone, isn't that crossing over into the reef environment? Would we no longer be FOWLR? Or is the reef environment mostly corals, etc? Hubby thinks the long arm and bulb anemones look cool, but to me, it translates to more lighting, more this more that, and the tightwad in me is beginning to cringe at the very thought.
Can you have a successful semi-reef, semi fish, with just anemones and soft corals along with your fish and live rock, or are we just way in over our heads and need to do one or the other but not try to meddle in both? I do not want the full reef look, definately caves and burrowns and open rock work for the fish to play.
TY!
