So about 10-15 years ago, I had a 75 gal reef tank that I kept for about a year. I was not very successful at it and after a year, decided to break it down and sell out. I was younger, didn't have the money, and grew tire of failures. Plus, I had two kids that were starting to play sports so really didn't have the time for everything.
I can't believe how far things have come since then. I have the itch to get back into the hobby. I don't have room for a large aquarium
and decided to try a nano and would like to try the Triton method. I am currently torn between two tanks.
1) The Aquamaxx 33 gallon cube - this would need to be drilled and an overflow added.
2) The IM 25 gallon lagoon - comes with overflow and bulkheads.
These are about the same price after adding an overflow to the Aquamaxx.
I am looking to keeping mainly zoas, acan, favia, acros (eventually) and maybe a leather. I like color.
I also like the Kessil lights and will go with one 360x to start and possibly add a second later as I get into SPS.
Would the shallower lagoon be a disadvantage trying to keep high light and low light corals in the same tank?
Any thoughts and input are greatly appreciated.
