i have had a 20 gal reef set up for 10 years..... went back and forth from fowlr to full reef twice due to tank crashes.
one from a faulty heater and most reciently(2-14-07) a 2nd time due to a power failure for 2 days .
after each crash it took weeks to restabilize the tank and each time it rebounded nicely.
im just getting started with replacing what i lost with frags from my friends on RC..........the RC comunity rocks......
so it can be done long term.....just need to have lots of tlc and patience
