I wish I would have started with a small tank. Although I loved my 180. It was expensive and required more maintence. With the small cube I have now. Its a breeze. No dosing or reactors. A 5 gallon wc every Friday my cal alk mg are at good levels. I only have 2 fish and 45 pieces of coral. Mostly sps

Now I did find that a crash was easier to achieve in a smaller amount of water volume. But in reality. It was my own fault.

Overall. I think smaller is better for new reefers as cost are down. I'm not even sure I would go back to a big tank
