I'm conflicted on what sized tank to get for my first saltwater tank(have some experience on the freshwater side).
Below are done of the options I was thinking of and would like to see what the prevailing thought is.
Some requirements of mine-
1. Sturdy/adjustable (leg) stand as it goes in a place where kids run around and I don't have time to build another stand myself. So I'm looking at only the waterboxes as they seem to have a great ALU frame for their stands. So unfortunately no 40gal breeder .
2. Don't want any tanks large than 90 gal, as it's going on a non concrete floor and I don't want to take chances.
3. I want to keep fish that are both colorful and have great character(curious fish that interact with their environment). However I want to limit myself to easy corals and resilient fish to begin with.
4. Don't want to spend an arm and a leg at least in the beginning until I get a hang of it - so something that lets me scale but without unnecessary upfront cost.
5. Easy maintenance & a system that can keep things stable and pets healthy. Fyi - I do intend to use Neptune dos for water changes and an ato as well.
