    Hello Everyone,

    My Name is Taylor, I am from Kingston Ontario. I am just starting out, In fact haven't even put the tank together yet. I just want to make sure I get everything right before I start dumping tons of cash into it. I am starting off with a 25g tank, but am thinking of getting a 75 to start with instead.

    I know I will have quite a few questions to ask, so I will tank all of you in advance for the great advice.

    Welcome to 3 reef Taylor

    get that 75, thats my 1st advice
    if you buy the 25, you will want the 75 in the future anyway

    Hello....GET THE BIGGER TANK.

    I wish I had gotten a bigger tank. The more water volume the easier keeping water will be. It will take you about two months to say to yourself I wish I would have gotten the bigger tank. If you are already thinking it then it will take even less time. You will be putting a lot of work into it and it will be worth more in my opinion to have done it on something bigger. Bigger is better in this hobby! That may just be me though.

    Welcome to the addiction!

    Ok, then it is decided I will pick up the 75g tank. I guess I can always use the smaller tank as a sump. Thanks for the first bit of advice.
