Welcome to 3reef, Danny! You'll like it here.

One common misconception among the new is "smaller is better." Surprisingly, it's the other way around. For reef tanks and FOWLR tanks too, the key to success is consistency. To maintain it, you want a larger volume of water.

If someone spilled a martini in your tank, would you wish you had a larger, or smaller tank? Larger of course. The water chemistry we strive to keep regular is affected by evaporation; and when things go amiss (and they will!) fluctuations are only magnified by having a smaller volume of water.

So--if you haven't bought the tank yet, consider a larger tank rather than a smaller one. You'll be glad you did.
