Like the title says I am considering running my 50g in my bedroom as a FOWLR. I already have the lights to go reef but am considering going fish only instead. I know there are some really cool non reef safe fish but I need your help to decide either way. What are some advantages, disadvantages, things I need to consider and cool fish I might be missing out on? :fish:
Convince me to go FOWLR

No more sleepless nights worrying if your Po4 & No3 are within 100th of a point of where it should be.

It's riding weather. More time on the bike less time testing the tank.

i often think of changing my tank over to a fowlr: it seems to be forgiving type of setup for many of the reason posted above, and you have more options for fish selection. The beauty is you can easily go back to a reef by a quick sale

Lol...very true
What kind of lighting for a fowler? Was think of two led strips 2:1 (but I am having them made so anythings possible). Probably sell the a4 leds I got from Pop Corals.
Oh and can I put a versa top on? Want to try to reduce evap and water falling into overflow noise.

Nice fish. She's a beauty! And at the same time looks like she is mean and ready to rip apart something....And I like the stipend in her forehead, looks like she was born with war stripes and ready to do battle.
