Well I'm trying to decide if I want to convert a 29 gallon tank that I have as freshwater into my reef tank or if I want to use it as a refugium for a larger 55 or 60 gallon tank. I know that more water volume is generally better, but it seems like a lot of folks are having success with nano reef tanks these days. | |
