Artificial corals for FOWLR

[eddtango]

I plan to set up a FOWLR tank and want a reef look but I don't really want to deal with live corals. Does anybody know where I can buy those Artificial corals?

That was my thinking exactly about 4 years ago. I bought quite a few real nice fake corals, they all looked good for about a week and then started to get covered in algea, it was a royal PITA to keep them looking nice.

In the end I found that I just slowly evolved into a real reef, a lot of work at first and considerable cash outlay, but my 250 SPS tank right now is far easier to care for then my 90 FOWLR.

Not trying to put a downer on this discussion.

I got mine from mops, but the company that made them no longer does, so I doubt that Dan would be able to get anymore, seeing that 4 years ago was the end.

I considered it too when I set up my FOWLR 10 months ago, but decided against it in the end for this very reason. I foresaw it coming and decided to save some cash.
Like the guy with the accent says..."Save your money". (ING Reference).

Well, I can always set it up with just live rocks. I'll just try to arrange the rocks so it will look like a reef. Thanks for your thoughts.
