From a time and maintenance point of view my 265 requires a lot less of my time than any of my smaller tanks did, 30/75/90 gallon. That being said it was designed that way. In my opinion, to have a large tank you need either A) A fair amount of free time or B) Money, both would be ideal. Free time to do most of your maintenance and daily chores manually, dosing, water changes, top offs etc or money to automate several systems, controllers, top-offs, dosing pumps, reactors, outsource maintenance all together, blah blah blah. Without automation my tank would be a toy box by now. So a tank large or small can be as easy or as hard as you choose it to be.
