Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am a beginner and new to the site, but I have done a lot of research on salt water tanks. Of the 5 experts I have talked to, 2 of them do not recommend using a 20 gallon tank for saltwater. Before you comment, I can say that I am very scientific and diligent in terms of testing and maintenance. I intended to put a clown, a blue tang, a crab, a shrimp, and a couple of snails in there. I want to use crushed coral, an underfloor filter, a penguin 125, maybe add an anemone, and some fake coral. I have a heater, and I will buy a complete test kit. I will do a 20% water change every month, along with vaccuming and testing. Please advise if this is OK. I don't want to kill fish, but at the same time, I think many people in fish stores are very conservative with their rules of thumb. Keep in mind that I will probably go the freshwater route if too many of ya'll think that it won't work. Please advise.
