After all the stinkin questions

Yeah everywhere im reading is saying you dont need a filter if you are doing a FOWLR
 
Rock and sand is indeed the berlin method and does work, some people supplement it with an additional filter or sump for more rock and sand, keep up on your waterchanges and dont let the bioload get to heavy and i think you should be ok.
 
well if i plan on keeping it pretty well stocked but not overstocked do you think i should throw on a HOB power filter? Full size (im going to buy juvies) im looking at 28" of fish so while they are juvies they are gonna be like 1/3 of the size, I plan on doing a sump when i get more experienced
 
What fish do you have in mind? Some are messy eaters that require adding lots of food daily, some swim around and scavange and involve barely adding any food.

Using ocean water for your water changes is kinda risky

LOL, tell that to the Univeristy of California, Santa Barbara, where I get my Ocean water from. They use it on all their tanks for their marine biology.

Check out this thread and look at all the tanks that are using the water out of the ocean. Somehow I don't think it is "risky" at all. 43 pages in one thread, many many pictures of tanks using the water and nothing but rave reviews. ;)

Also, here is the filtration system for the Ocean water.

2 Ocellaris clowns
1 blue spotted toby puffer
1 yellow tang ( I know they need a bigger aquarium than a 60 full size but my father has a 125 for when he gets too big)
1 spotted cardnial
1 watchman goby

I agree with them. It is very common these days to use biological filtration versus mechanical on a FOWLR or reef.

I sent you a PM question about that actually!
