I've been doing my research and I think a 3g tank will be too much for me as a first reef tank, not only that but I would like a couple of fish as well.

I've seen the errors of my way and will be picking up a 200l/55g tank at the weekend

Thank you for the advise and I won't get any fish Is there any reading material you can recommend?

Thank you for the advise and I wasn't looking at getting any fish (after giving it some thought) I've been reading this is there anything else worth reading?

Didn't think to take any pictures, will get some next time I'm in town Would it be manageable for a complete noob?

First off I'm sorry not trying to start an arguement, you are right I'm overstocked I got my maths completely wrong. I've only been keeping fresh water fish for a month so please forgive my ignorance, I've been around tropical fish since birth though

Well obviously I do have enough room for 1 if there is 2 in the tank. What you don't seem to understand is surface area, it's all well and good saying that I need 20g for the first fish and then another 10g for every new fish added. You're not going to put a single fish in a drain pipe filled...

I can't see how the op is overstocked if they have a tank twice the size of mine, I was told I have enough room for 2 more fancies or a dozen minnows.

I saw a 3 gallon tank at a local bargain shop, it was cheap enough but will it be any good for nano reef? I've never kept reef fish before and I though this would be a good start, or is it too small to be managable?

I'm in the same boat and was thinking of getting some white cloud mountain minnows 135l?!? Mines only 54l :)
