I have one for you, its becoming a pet peeve of mine.

"But salt water tanks are too hard, nanos are even harder and pico is for expert only" No they aren't. I dunno, but I've had my tank for about 3 weeks now (give er take) and its only a little 5g tank. No algae issues, coraline growing, corals growing (granted I bleached em, but they are slowly coming back) and all the inverts are fine. I dunno what the heck they are talking about hard. Hardest part I've dealt with the SG rising because of evap.

Setup a 300G, then setup a 5G next to it, see which one is easier to maintain proper levels of everything. It is a fact, the smaller the tank (water volume), the harder it is to maintain stability. Come back in 3 months, then a year, and tell us how easy that 5g is.

Pet peeve of mine, people saying "my water is good" without running proper tests or posting real results (not a strip test where the color falls in the "Good" range).

Will a tang be ok in a 29 gallon tank?

This isn't what I heard hear but where I work. Can I put a nemo fish in a fish bowl? Can I put a clown fish in with a goldfish, it's okay it's a 5 gallon tank?
