Slightly Discouraged!

[Keana]

Hi, I would have to agree with an earlier posting on this thread that small is not always better for starter tanks. My tank is only 27gal Tall and I have to watch it all the time. Things like ph, kh, calcium all change much quicker in a small tank than in a larger one. Also a small problem can become a really big one in a hurry where as in a larger tank you get more of a grace period. That said.... I can also afford to do water changes a lot more frequently and some things like lighting were a lot cheeper. So I guess theres ups and downs on both sides. There is also lots of ways of getting what you need for less than regular retail. Lots of great used equipment, books, etc., gets sold on canreef all the time.

Bye, Keana
