saltwater tank sizes are diff than fresh with same volume?

I could not imagine having a smaller one.

Try running a 10 gallon mini-reef! It's fun, though. Plus, it really doen't take much in the way of tweaking. All of my measurements are are written down, so I know exactly how much of anything to add and exactly what it will do to change my water parameters. I can't wait to get a few corals in it! First, I must tackle lighting....

before doing any research, I bought a 9 gal hex. I was going to try to use that, but I gotta say I am glad I did not. Maybe as I learn more, I will try something small. I really want to go big though, so I can have a broader choice of fish.
