I would say that larger tanks are easier to learn with. My first saltwater tank was 160 gallons. Several times i was able to save corals or fish in my tank. The parameters stayed very stable. I had no previous experience. I do agree however that the maintenance is much more. Meaning topping up the tank, additives, water changes, and cleaning. I started a great reef tank for about $2000 and we all know that isnt very much when it comes to this hobby.
