Yes, Once your tank has cycled after starting the FOWLR, from there you can
pretty much do anything you want. After the tank cycles, add a few fish to
see how they adapt, then if you like, more fish or corals and anemones. The
foundation for a reef tank is LR, Get that started first.
I would suggest that you keep a log of everything you do to the tank for at
least 1 year. The log should state when you test the waters (date and time)
what the results were and also when you added what live stock to your tank.
The log is a good reference point should you have a problem down the line,
you can learn from any mistakes you may have made. Good luck

From experience I can agree with the larger tank concept. My 120
freshwater
never had water quality issues....ever. Could you make a suggestion to a
more appropriate Filtration System?

You also should decide which way you want to take this. There are three
basic
marine setups; fish-only, fish-only with live rock, and reef.

Would it be realistic to go FOWLR with the option to upgrade to a reef?
