Its not rally that much about the gallons, its the length of your tank. They like to swim, so a tank at least 36" long, and probably 48", is a must.From the research I've done on them, I learned they need swimming room. I can't afford a full blown Reef (15 and about to get first job) so I'll probably use 20lbs of rock. I know they're territorial, and with my tiny budget, I want it to be the only fish in the tank. Do you think that's an option? 30+ gallons of swimming room all to its self.
I know that isn't a lot, but I think with a lack of extreme rockwork/coral he'll have close to the same swimming room as a 55g Reef. And without territories of other fish I also think it'd minimize stress. What do you think?
*if there's more flow than less flow do fish feel more comfortable? Wondering for a qt tank
There hasn't been any negativity yet, and this is all just hypothetical, so please don't bring any [emoji1]
