i started with my first tank 6 months ago and its a 65gal, its pretty low maintainence but i have a **** load of live rock which basically filters everything on its own, gotta be close to 90lbs. I have had no issues and wish i would of gone bigger, it also helps that i let it cycle for 3 months before i added any fish. main thing to think about before you decide to pack this tank in is what fish and corals you really want to have in the tank. 29gal limits you from alot of nice fish. 175gal is a great size tank.
