Danamck: Thank you so much.
#1 Bigger is easier.. things just don't happen as fast. But yes it is possible to have a nice small tank. I do admit it is just as much (work) fun as a large tank.
#2 Yes this tank is run by bare bone equipment. Really I believe it puts you in more control of things. This can be good or bad
lol.
My next tank is going to be a large at least 300 gal with all the state of the art equipment.
Thank so much for the congrads!!
