Gary,
You're welcome.
Yes, it seems like I am taking a step backwards - most people upsize their tanks. I hope that the smaller tank does save me time eg, smaller water changes, less glass to clean. I also expect there to be a financial savings as a result of using less electricity (not much less though), less salt, fewer bulbs to replace (had 6 power compacts on the 90). However; the main reason that I went with a smaller tank is that I am able to accomplish much more in terms of lighting and circulation. I couldn't have gotten 16 watts/gallon of light and 32X tank turnover in my 90gallon; at least not on my current budget. I guess I gave up size (and the best yellow tang you ever saw), in order to achieve that. Besides, I think nano tanks are beautiful in their own right, kind of like bonsai I guess.
And thanks for the compliment.
- Chad
