I want to try and do a salt water tank again. It has been some years since I had my 29 gal set up. This time I was thinking of going smaller and setting up the 6 gal Fuval. Will this be more trouble then its worth?
Small tanks are a lot harder to maintain. You could use your 6gal and have a 15 or 20gal sump then it's a different story. The less water the harder it is. You have a lot less time before all of your water would be contaminated and the fluctuations are a lot more aggressive. Were you thinking FO or reef?I want to try and do a salt water tank again.

That would be pretty easy with just the 6 gallons. I would put an ac30 or ac50 on it for filtration and circulation.Was just thinking of some love rock and maybe two fish.
Hob means hang on the back. When water evaporates you don't put new mixed saltwater. You put fresh water in the salt doesn't evaporate. Its only a 6g so I don't know one of those led marineland ones :sWhat kind of light will fit with that size tank that isn't insanely expensive. What is HOB? Sorry some of these abreveations stump me. My plan is to buy the per mix water instead of mixing myself. But also looking at the evaporation it may be best that I mix.
