What is a good size for a new tank?
I am planning to set up a marine reef tank (live rock, corals, and a few fishes) in a few months and I was contemplating a 155g bowfront with a 40g wet/dry sump. However, i'm a little concerned that it might be just TOO big. Moving 30g of water around at a crack for water changes doesn't sound like a prime motivation.
In any case, what is a good minimum size tank to consider for a stable reef tank, assuming some kind of a wet/dry sump on it?
One of my requirements is that I can't have a tank that is very tall; I'm short and with short arms. I have a 4' 55g freshwater tank that is just the perfect height.
