Still keep a 200g but its due to my dogface puffer who I have been caring for the last 15 years , so I have needed to keep a larger aquarium for him . However once he passes I will be shutting his tank down . Later in my reef keeping I developed interest in only keeping nano / smaller fish , as I dont feel as bad having a fish that small in an aquarium . Dont really like keeping large fish anymore I feel bad keeping them in small systems , to me even a 200g is to small for a purcupine puffer , and various tangs for an example . So to me a smaller system is what Im more interested in nowadsays . Keeping small weird fish my biggest fish I keep outside of my puffer is my pair of bluespot jawfish . I also tend to build shallow systems to get more space but less volume wich works well with small fish . The system Im building on boxing day from concepts will be 72x30x14t roughly 120g but a huge floor print . SO for me no regrets moving to smaller systems , the chemicals alone is worth it alone for me .
