Hello everyone! I have a 50 gallon freshwater tropical tank. The reason I'm here is because I want to learn all I can about FOWLR. My friend is converting his 20 gallon to saltwater. His wife wants clownfish thanks to "Finding Nemo". We both started our freshwater tanks around the same time. I did the research, he chose to wing it. He lost everything. My tank is thriving. I want to learn all I can so his new tank does not suffer the same fate. What I'm planning to tell him so far: He needs 20 pounds of live rock. Live sand. RO saltwater from LFS. RO water for top offs. Powerhead rated at 400gph. Skimmer rated for a 40 gallon tank. Refractometer. Liquid test kits for ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, pH and alkalinity. When ammonia and nitrites reach zero, 20% water change (also weekly) then it's time to add cleanup crew (consisting of ?) and a pair of Ocellaris clownfish? Any and all advice and suggestions are welcome and much appreciated! Tanks in advance!
