I am relatively new to fish keeping. I have a 36 gallon bowfront with a canister filter. I tried freshwater first without much success because I work 60 hours a week and didn't take the time to properly maintain the filter/water. I switched over to FOWLR with the canister emptied essentially as a recirculating pump. I found FOWLR to be much easier to maintain. All I ever did in 6 months is add RO water.
I am planning a 150 gallon reef tank now. I bought a 50 gallon tank for my sump/refugium 48x12x21 off Letgo. I also just purchased my display tank from SCAquariums. I am going to build my own stand out of a mix of 2x6 and 2x4 sheeted with 1/2" plywood. I was planning on using a Jaebo DCP-8000 return pump. The tank has 3 - 1" overflow holes drilled in the bottom center with plumbing for a Herbie overflow. I was planning on having 200 lbs of reef saver dry rock from BRS. For my sand bed I am planning on getting some sand from an East coast South Carolina beach.
