Upgrade, or stay small?

[iloveoscars702]

idk with sw, i like to stay small as possible cus if there isnt enough current etc u grow weird worms n nematodes n stuff

to me, its just not worth it

really people say smaller SW tanks are a lot harder to mantain than bigger SW tanks. but yea UPGRADE NOW

depends why you want to upgrade.. but I agree.. a 55 isn't gonna be much different then the 20. 75 would be a better depth. or something else thats more boxy. Nicest "small reef" I had was my 40B .. housed a pair of percula clowns and some pipefish. had enough length and depth to build a nice live rock structure, and was shallow enough I didn't have to go crazy on the lighting system for it, yet was still able to keep some decent stuff.

I know but a 20g isnt really THAT small although yeah bigger tanks are easier to take care of they just cost a lot more to take care of

The only downside to upgrading is the extra cost but I wuld go for 75 gal that's my plans.

upgrade cuz you already have the tank....why let a perfectly good 55 gal tank go to waste! go big or go home
