my point of view
When you get into the hobby you are new trying everything and wasting alot of time watching the tank so you dont miss anything. Then you take the plunge and get a bigger tank. Then you are stuck with more lights and more water changes that have been stated by Doug and som one else.
Your experience is growing over time and you gain ways to make short cuts. and make DIY projects and then for some reason you down grade and thne you find that a smaller tank is easier to maintain. Due from having all this expereince and short cuts that you taught yourself or that you have read about.
having a larger tank is easier to a point of, if you get a problem in the tank it doesnt wipe it out in a day you pretty much have a few more grace days to sort it out.
With a smaller tank you have ways of tweaking the tank to run better and easier. So you are not there 24/7
That is what they are talkign about inreference to the smaller tanks are easier to take care of.
