NEED HELP

[noodle]

I can't really decide wheather i want a fish or reef tank. I like fish tanks more but, i heard its hard to keep the waste level down. What cretures are good and hardy for this job?

I don't think that it's all that difficult to keep the waste down in a FOWLR. Just get a good substrate, and lots of live rock. You will want a good skimmer too, either way. You could always just lightly stock a reef tank, you're just a little more limited with your fish selection in a reef. Just my opinions...

While fo or fowlr produce alot more waste, reef creatures are significantly more sesitive to whatever waste there is. Simply put water quality in a reef MUST always be perfect and there is much less margin for error as opposed to fowlr.
If you are just beginning this hobby, you will find a fo tank easier and more rewarding for your first experience,master this and then tackle the reef later.
What ever you choose,
Good Luck
