Question

Answer 1

You can make any size tank a marine tank! Bigger is usually recommended for beginners because the temperature and water chemistry will be more stable with the larger water volume. Most experts recommend at least a 30 gallon. I've gone as small as 2.5 gallons, but it's harder to do. I read an article a few years back in one of the fish magazine you see in pet stores (don't remember which one) when nano tanks were just becomming popular - there were photos of tanks under 1 gallon, but there aren't animals you can keep in tanks that size!

Stocking rates are less than for freshwater (consider about 5 gallons per inch of fish), more for active swimmers, so a good place to start might be planning for what fish you'd like to have and get a tank of that size!

Answer 2

you can easily do a marine tank in a 25 or 30 gallon tank. No problem at all. As a rule of thumb the larger the tank the easier to maintain, but that size will certainly work.

The 23 gallon could probable artwork, yet you would be greater effective off commencing with something larger, everywhere from 40 to 55 gallons. it's going to make much less rigidity for the two you and the fish.

Answer 5
