Max M Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi fellow reefers, I've got quite an experience with freshwater planted tanks, including larger system with a sump like setup, a very high PAR tanks with no algae issues (with precise nutrient & water chemistry control), complex filtration etc., and now I feel kinda ready for a saltwater setup. This is supposed to be a mixed reef where I plan to start with some easiest species and gradually evolve it as I learn more to more delicate fishes & LPS & SPS over a few years time. The question for this topic is whether I should got with a 5x2x2 ft tank which is much more convenient space wise, or shall I squeeze in 6x2x2 ft if it will offer much more flexibility in the future. I'm reading contradictory advices, some folks say 5 ft vs 6 ft is a huge difference, some say it's more or less the same. 5 ft fits perfectly in my room, 6 ft is a tight fit, but I'd go for it is it is a real difference. I'm just planning as of now, nothing is bought yet, so other dimension suggestions are also welcome. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Thehaddonicarpet Posted April 25, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted April 25, 2021 Difference in price you mean? 6 foot will be a lot more expensive, but easier as parameters more stable. Imagine chilling and dosing for the extra water on a daily basis. It’ll bring up the cost, but won’t have fluctuations like my 1x2 ft 🤣Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
