What is different with keeping a larger tank from a tiny one?
Except water changes aren't a 5 gallon bucket anymore. I figured that out already.
I have had a nano cube, a 20L and a 30 gallon cube over the years. Now I have a 56 gallon column.
My son had angel fish in it and moved out of state.
The live rock from that original Nano cube is in the new tank.
I have never had a sump. I use a HOB skimmer.
Is the stuff I know how to do going to work on this larger tank?
 
there's no real difference other then you evap more water and things cost a lot more as you get into larger tanks. Generally you have more water so mistakes aren't as bad as a small tank.
 
Just more maintenance cost it seems like. You should be fine if you’re this far along in your reefkeeping
