Anyway, she wants to try to set up a ten gallon tank. The smallest saltwater tank I used was a 20 gallon. It was kind of a pain. Nothing fancy, regular fluoresent top, hang on back of tank filter (the kind with the wheel). Only kept starfish found out at horn island in it, so it was not like a reef tank or anything. Also had a 55 gal tank at the same time, oh and a 40gal tall. All saltwater. The 55 was actually easier to take care of and I had nicer stuff in it. I guess my point is that my smaller tanks were much more work and more of a pain to take care of. Does anyone have a different experience, better perhaps? I now have a 180 gal reef/fish tank with a 30 gal. sump. Even less work to me than the 55. I could make more work for myself with my 180, but why, if things are growing and thriving, and I am happy? I know they have those smaller nano tanks out there and I have not looked into those. But what about a simple 10gal tank. Other opinions would be appreciated (cause we don't listen to mom half of the time anyway). Gerwin, maybe you can get her to come to this website to post her questions and to get info. I tried. I think she likes you better anyway. Lets see if we/YOU can help her out. And of course she wants to wait until she moves back home so she can use some of Moms stuff.haha.
But she does like to plan out things ahead. (she will change her mind as to what she wants in the tank several times) And that's okay. A 10gal would be too small for a lion fish right? What kind of things could she do or put in a tank that size if she really has her mind set on it?? I do love her, she is my critter kid! She gets it honest.
