I’m looking to get into the hobby sometime next year and I understand that generally speaking, a larger tank is better for beginners since it dilutes any dosing mistakes easier.
My question is, with living in an apartment for the next 4~8 years while saving for a house, is it practical to keep a tank over say 40 gallons? I wouldn’t move every year, but I could potentially move once or twice on that time frame. I’m very fond of the Waterbox tanks and they have 35, 50, and 65 gallon AIO options. I understand that moving any saltwater tank is always a challenge, but in your option, at what point would this become too much work for the effort?
The 65 gallon is appealing since it allows for more types of fish and it would have plenty of room for growth over a longer period. Unlike the smaller ones where I’d run out of space in the tank pretty quick. But I’d be perfectly fine accepting that a 35 gallon or even the 20 gallon cube are a better option for me if that’s what people think.
