Just sold off my large tank...and already itching for another one

[Coralgurl]

If I went small again, I'd do a cube 24x24x18. Gives the width to allow for cool aquascaping, not too deep and doesn't take up a lot of room. Don't go less than 18" wide, makes rock placement challenging. My 55 was 12" wide and it sucked......

I started with a 38 gallon. They are easy. You add a few corals and away it goes. The other nice thing you can place it any where in the house. If you want I still have my 38 cube if you want it. It's self contained so no need for a sump. I would Part with if for a hundred. If you want the LED that goes with it that we could talk about.

A standard 50gal would probably be as small as you would want for a room divider type of setup. Standard dimensions are around 36x18x20 I think. To keep it simple and minimize volume you could add a larger external overflow onto the side and make it a AIO type tank, no skimmer, just a decent size return pump with a tray for floss and/or carbon. ATO could be added and if you keep bio-load down by sticking with mostly inverts the maintenance will be minimal.
