Reefing newb
After setting up my 180g tank and leaving it run in my old office area of the house and neglecting it, its time move forward. Last week I just moved it into our game room and I need to decide what direction I want to go. I thought about doing a FOWLR tank and having lion fish and triggers tangs and what not but Id kinda like to have some coral and stuff in there. I also thought about if if do make it a FOWLR tank is to buy a frag tank and put next to it. Input would be greatly appreciated. (I also have my sons 55g tank that is rolling along nicely. It has some colt, zoa's and a few other typse of coral)
 
Do you already have lights and filtration for it? If not, you will have to get good (expensive) equipment to turn it into a reef. It is definitely cheaper to use it as a FOWLR tank, and a 180 is a good size for that.
 
My suggestion then is to look at some lighting sufficient to support a reef in a 180. If it's in your budget, then by all means go reef!
