Tell me if this is a good idea

Soo MANY problems are going on with my 29g due to lack of husbandry. I want to buy a 14g biocube and sell the 29g.


Would this solve my problems and make life a little easier?

I have VERY basic corals in my 29g and things are just a pain in the butt keeping this thing good looking...and i have no money to run in(im 15)

 

14g is harder to keep then a 29g. Smaller doesn't always mean cheaper, maybe a couple of dollars cheaper but not worth your wild. If you don't have money to spend, I would rethink this hobby.

 

+1 to that recommendation. It's going to be very expensive no matter what tank size you have. And a smaller tank will only be harder to keep stable causing you more frustration down the road.

 

Okay..hmm...So there is no point at all swtiching? i mean..i would do a half gallon WC a day, thats something i could handle and would do..

 

I agree. I would try to maintain the tank you have now. What's wrong with it?

 

I wouldn't do it...

 

I agree with them both. Smaller might need more water changes and attention to since one wrong thing and it can change instantly.

 

Why would you need to do half gallon WC a day?. You can do half of 29 which is 14.5-15g a month. What are you keeping in your tank?.

 

Oh why not? everyone i know who has a 14g does a very small WC a day and it works great....But i cant handle the 29g, it has very poor equipment on it.

 

How about you set up an ATO? for WC I cam up with idea to T off the return line. This makes for quick and easy water changes. Keep your return pump on, set it to 2/3 going to the tank, 1.3 going to the waster-water bucket...keeps a constant flow to the tank still while doing your WC. Just add your new water when you're done.
