Whats the difference between a reef and a fowlr tank?

[Steve-O]

Im trying to create a mini reef tank, but not sure if Im there yet.

My tank includes:

20lbs live sand
10lbs live rock
2 mini compact 10 watt 50/50 blubs
1 power sweep pump
1 HOB with out media
1 false perc
2 turbo snails
5 blue leg hermits
1 small emerald crab
1 small sand sifting star

I want to get into soft corals that require lower light. What is recommended?

What else do I need to complete the reef package?

Thanks for your input.

Sorry for the duplicate posts. Thats happened to me twice lately.

Fish only with live rock (FOWLR)?

Is odd you can not delete posts, boards I run I have set to allow deletion for 15 minutes after post.

You are correct with the FOWLR definition. Im looking for what goes into creating a reef. Is it the right equipment, corals, fish, lighting?

Someone deleted the dup thread after I went to the suggestion thread. Its magic.

No corals or inverts and anything else besides the fish and rock!
