    90's are pretty standard, usually 48" x 18" x 24. It really depends on what your looking to keep.

    and also wha type of corals. fish only won't need as much flow and corals need different amounts of flow. a goodstarting point would be two k2s or maybe two k3s. you would be good for fish only and most soft corals then. if you decided to get into hard corals you could always add more flow then.

    My 90 has a Koralia 3, 4, and a Vortech MP40. It's a reef tank. For a FOWLR, one K3 should suffice.
