Hello all. Haven't been around here in a while. Feels good to be back. I need some help figuring out what I want to do with my newest tank. I found it in a local ad for sale real cheap so I decided to get it. I went to look at it and come to find out it's a 40g saltwater setup with a stand, hood, power compact lighting, 10g filter, skimmer and all the test kits/chemicals etc.. I was originally going to do a cichlid or discus tank but I think I'm finally going to try my hand at saltwater. I've been keeping planted FW setups for a few years now and understand the basic chemistry. My question is whether to go with a FO or a FOWLR setup. I want to work up to a reef setup but right now money and time constraints are holding me back. Do you think even a FOWLR setup may be over my head? Also, could you point me in the direction of some sites with good info on setup and cycling?
thx
