I've only had a SW tank for a short time. (relatively speaking). I've been doing the FW thing for a long while and have gotten quite "advanced".. I guess.(still learning though) as I've done the High Tech Planted thing.
Reefing seems to be similar to the high tech planted thing in terms of keeping things in close check and very well balanced.
I have a 29 gallon tank to start. I added a 20 gallon sump to try and keep things stable. Everything is running great! Parameters are pretty much level.. nitrates are 0.... phosphates are 0...etc..etc.
I'm going slow though. Stocking carefully and slowly. Feeding carefully... I'm having no problems at this point (knock on wood).
Nano seems to be working for me..
having said that.. I'm thinking of converting my 90 gallon into a reef tank.. I'm already cooking some LR just in case I decide to change that over.. the 29 has taught me a lot!
