Hi,
After many years of looking at my brother's marine tank in awe, and keeping varying Tropical freshwater fish(currently keeping Cichlids quite successfully), I have decided to make my dream come true and start a marine tank. I am busy reading every piece of information that I can find, learning what I need to let my future fish and corals flourish.
I have however a question I am undecided on. What size to start with? I have an old 60cmx40cmx40cm that is in my cupboard that I am considering starting up and using as a "Learning Tank". While on the other hand I have heard everywhere that the more capacity you have the easier the learning curve is(forgiving). So in that case a 4ft tank is what I would be looking at.
Any thought/ideas on this? Will purchase the necessary equipment for the size i get, and the old tank will be used as a hospital/QT tank once I have found where i will build my supersize in about 4 or 5 years.
Thanks!
