I guess it depends on what you want to keep and how much room you have. Funds to donate matter as well. The bigger the tank the more coral it takes to make it look not empty. I like bigger tanks but I like bigger fish and room for coral. Some people keep tiny tanks. @brandon429 keeps little pico tanks and seems to enjoy them.Does a person really need a large aquarium to feel content or can a nano tank bring enough contentment as much as a larger tank? What are your opinions?
Its a matter of preference, space in your dwelling, stocking desires and budget.Does a person really need a large aquarium to feel content or can a nano tank bring enough contentment as much as a larger tank? What are your opinions?
I’ve only had nano tanks so far and reading this post made me realize that I am intimated by the thought of handling much larger and stronger fishI think a lot depends on what Fish you want to keep also.
My current tank just was not big enough to house large Tangs, so moving to a bigger tank made sense to me.
The wife on the other hand....
But in my ten gallon tank I only have to change one gallon of water each week. If I had a 200 gallon tank, I would have to change 20 gallons of water in a bucket. For me a larger tank is more work carrying all those buckets of water to the bathroom toilet.I currently have a 50 cube and a 120. I would like to eventually put everything in a 210 or 220. Maintenance on one bigger tank in my opinion would be way less than on 2 smaller tanks.
Large tank owners take water changes into consideration, like the ease of doing them, sump in basement hopefully with a drain in the floor, automated water change systems or no water changes at all, just advanced filtration and dosing.But in my ten gallon tank I only have to change one gallon of water each week.

I personally can most certainly be content with a nano tank. The only reason why alot of us go big is because we like to do more and go beyond our own expectations in the hobby. Plus, there are many things we want in a reef tank and need the space to make it possible imo.Does a person really need a large aquarium to feel content or can a nano tank bring enough contentment as much as a larger tank?
