Default fowlr tank

Kien,
It would be way easier to just use the 15% water from your reef tank that you change weekly to do a 15% water change on your fowlr tank. Just re-use the reef water for your fowlr water changes. This will save you a lot of time, plumbing, and lots of money ( less salt and additives. Don't forget, if you're plumbing a 150 and 121 together, with sumps, you'll need to add additives to compensate for over 300 gallons.) There's nothing wrong with the water from your reef tank for a fowlr tank.
I currently drain about 20 gallons from my fowlr tank ( python straight into the sink) and refill with water from my 120 reef, then just add the new salt water into the reef. Lots less work than mixing 2 batches of salt all the time.
