I voted other because I have a FOWLR (Fish Only with Live Rock). I have a couple of corals in one tank but is a semi-reef and that is a bit stretching it. Then I also have a Seahorse tank that is species only. But out of my 5 Saltwater tanks 4 are FOWLR's and the Species.

It all started as some live rock for the clowns, now it's a reef and I'm not looking back.

Our 46 gallon started out as a FOWLR but we have added 2 hammer corals and 2 red gorgonias, so I guess it is a mini-reef. We have just started a 75 gallon and hope to make it a mini-reef after a period of time.

One reef, one FOWLR, one invert tank (currently acting as a large sump). On the horizon--species tank for a frog fish.

My local fish store has a breeding pair of frog fish if your interested. they have laid egg's but not sure if they've hatched yet.
You can contact them though http://www.emarinefish.com if your interested. I'm not sure if they are up on the site yet, but may be. He just got them in the other day. If not give Mike a call or email.

Think that would be very cool, but I don't have the tank close to setup--not even sure where I'll put it. It's going to be small setup, for just one fish. CB would great though--Apparently they have a very cool courting ritual. I'm also going to be out of town for 2 weeks next month, so I don't want to setup anything that's going to require much effort for our fish sitter.
Thanks though--I will definitely contact your guys when this is closer than the 'horizon'!

My vote probably does not really count, but I voted other. I have an amonia tank with sand and water.

I have an amonia tank with sand and water. ROFLMAO! I am surprised that wasn't one of the choices.

I love my c.c. set up.
Comes in very useful for q.ting and hypo treatments.
Wouldn't go without a set up excluding live rock.JMO

Hey All~
I'm new to this board but not to saltwater keeping. I had to vote other too, as one of my tanks is a semi-reef with a few corals and the other one is still cycling but will house a chocolate chip starfish and I haven't decided what else yet!
The first tank is a 55g that has been running for 3 years. DSB, about 60lbs of LR. Corals are few and are placed high up in the rockwork as I only have 220w of PC's on this tank. Most corals are various mushrooms including ricordia, some button polyps and porities coral. Inverts include turbo and astrea snails, a brown cuke, queen conch, olive snail, several large featherdusters, numerous small ones, blue-legged hermit crabs, also one unknown crab. Fish include yellow tang, ocellaris clown, blue damsel, black dartfish and a mandarin.
The other tank is a 20g with regular NO lights (50/50), crushed coral and some large shells. Also has maybe 8lbs of LR. This tank will have the starfish but my mind keeps changing on what else to put in there. Maybe a skunk cleaner shrimp, maybe an urchin. As far as fish, I'm leaning towards either 2 green chromis or maybe a royal gramma with a 3 stripe damsel. Or maybe a single orchid dottyback (I will have to rethink the shrimp if I go with the dotty)........hmmmm........

I started the hobby with a 20g fowlr. Then added a 55g fowlr. It was too much work for me (disabled) so I broke the 20 down and added everything to the 55g. This past Dec. I added 2 250w mh to my setup and am slowly converting to a reef.

65g FOWLR that may become a reef
30g reef
10g planted FW
1g planted FW
I've also got a 5.5g that I'm using as a SW HT/QT and a 5g bucket full of LR and corals that have been there for a month or two waiting for a new home, it's actually the healthiest looking 'tank' in the house!
