[mattistat]

[YahooFishKeeper]

that cycles your tank about 29 times... it could be better, but i dont think its too low...

 

[mattistat]

well i dont know what im getting but i know its gonna be 10 or less but i mite get a 2.5 or a 5 cause thats all i have room for but all i wnt is a crab or 2 and maby a coral or 2

 

[Igor The Cat]

go as big as you can get, 5gals is a lot smaller than 10gal, and with a 5gal you are VERY limited in what animals you can keep and dont even think about fish as a SW n00b. but the biest advice i can give you is READ, READ, READ then read some more.

cheers

the bigger the better, your going to have major evap problems in a small tank. i have trouble and i have a 10.

I have kept 1 gallon tanks, they arent that bad, just KISS, keep it simple stupid. Light bioload and 50% water changes every week. In a 5 gallon you could definetly keep a small goby without a problem.

 

[YahooFishKeeper]

ares, did you have an ATO?

 

[aresgod]

ATO? not sure what that is an abreviation for.

 

[YahooFishKeeper]

Automatic Top Off.

 

[aresgod]

no, until you have a large tank you dont know what top off is...it is so small an amount small tanks it really is just very easy, plus you only have relatively weak light on there, in the winter it gets a little annoying but still nothing compared to my 40 gallon or 90...

 

[YahooFishKeeper]

i know it would be a small amount, but wasnt it hard to keep it stable because of evap?

 

[aresgod]

no not really.
