It's a confusing question with answers. It's more expensive, but easier to care for corals in a large tank. Lights are expensive along with the electric bill needed to run large aquariums.
It's easier to keep water stable as where nano aquariums are very likely to fluctuate with daily evaporation along with trace element consumption.

I'll just put a yes for larger tank is easier.

I think it gets easier and then harder again. Easier around 75 gallons but over 200 it's harder to make changes and react quickly.

Larger tanks are more stable, but waaaaay more time on daily preventive and daily maintenance…
