Fish only tank is a tank where your focusing on just careing for fish, with possibly a choice coral or 2 but not always. Someone who doesnt want to care for corals or inverts would keep a fish only tank. The name sais it all....Fish Only Tank


Just the opposite with a reef tank, although I think most folks that keep reef tanks also keep reef safe fish in with it as well and also inverts which I dont think you will find too many of in a fish only tank. But with a reef tank your trying to accomplish the perfect reef setting for you and your fish to enjoy....everything you would find on a reef in the ocean you could find in a REEF tank. Hence the name......Reef Tank.

This is just my opinion of what each is although Im sure everyone has their own ideas on what a tank is called and what inhabitants are in a so called tank, this is the basic idea from a pretty basic person

This is perhaps the only question that you will get a straight answer for in this hobby!

Fish only means no corals, Reef tank means it has corals, inverts, clams, etc etc...

Let this one be simple, there are many many more questions that are complicated!
