300g Deep dimension tank

What are the dimension? Glass or acrylic and material thickness?

AP700s with no corals?

500g system..

AP700s with no corals?

Yeah this was my immediate reaction. Do you just really like the look of them or do you just happen to have them lying around? Seems like massive massive massive overkill in a fowlr

Yeah if he's going to be using those lights maybe some Dragon's Breath macroalgae at least? Can definitely grow something with those lights.

Yes. this was one thing i contemplated a lot. here is the story. i am new to reef/saltwater. so got 1 AP700 bcos i liked it. When i got this big tank, coverage was not good. Instead of returning that AP700, i got one more

 

[senjey]

AP700s with no corals?

ya man. i had a the same question. got 1 AP and had to get one more for coverage. maybe corals in the future..ha ha

i had a 220g freshwater with exotic and some rare cichlids. totally new to reef and stuff. so decided on FOWLR and learn things. maybe in future grow something

Would be fun to maybe start with some reef safe with caution fish in your tank to keep the option open then!

you got this. SW is not that much harder then FW. just a tad more expensive.

auto top off is a must keeps your salinity stable. OK just not a must have but trust us it might as well be.
go slow and ask questions along the way. you will find the SW peeps more eager to help than the FW folks. I was thinking about a planted FW so i joined a few FB groups my good with a not friendly bunch. lol
