just for the record, the larger the volume of a tank the easier it is to care for. at least IMO. plus upgrading can get expensive.

i already have several large freshwater tanks so i don't really want another big tank in the house, plus i don't want to invest tons of money into a large saltwater setup. If i start small maybe 20 -33 gallons that will give me an idea of whether saltwater is for me or not. Saltwater tanks seem to be a lot of work and very finnicky compared to freshwater. I see a lot of ppl trying it then selling it all a year later, so i don't want to invest lots just in case i do the same.

Default Tank size

I tought about that too. I did not wan't to big of a tank, but I found 75 -90 gallon is a good size to start. lot of full systems are for sale. reguler tanks, wave tanks and corner tanks I have seen on Canreef for sale. shop around see what one you like. No harm in looking.
