I couldnt agree more

I am very good at keeping great water.... but dosers..... all new lol
got the bio reactor cookin with the carbon and gfo.... with the top off and everything else its alot to keep track of when your first starting out.... after co2 calcium and kalk its getting to be way too crazy too fast and treating 450 gallons its alot to just dump in there and hope for the best....
I know i can keep em well fed and they have tons of filtration and space so why not try and master the meanies first and tackle the avatar gardens down the road.... when LEDs for an 8 footer come down in price LOL

Well I can say being an 8'er club member

I like my corals. Right now it's only 165 gal but going to 300 gal. Building a 272 LED lighting system totally controlled by my Profilux for a fraction of the cost of any factory fixture's & totally re-workable when ever I want. BUT I also like my 116 gal FOWLR & would love to go bigger.

If you are already thinking FOWLR this early in I would say you have already made up your mind. Don't second guess yourself, if you can say without a shadow of a doubt that you prefer the Angels & Triggers over coral, FOWLR it should be.
