I kind of want to trade all this


Alright, I right now have a 37G with metal stand and all the stuff to go with it, but I dont really want that big of a tank (even though its not really that huge). I really want a 24 nano or something along those lines, so either I want to sell my set up and buy one, or trade with someone who is looking to go one size up. This is what I have right now,

37g tank (its just like a 29 just taller) w/ metal stand
+ original hood, with light
Fluval 204
Neptune 150w heater
Satilite 2x65 w/ legs, fan, lunar light
peguin powerhead (the largest one i think its like a 1140 or something 300gph)
SeaClone 100 (brand new, had to return my other and get this one yesterday)
If the tank has live rock already and corals or what not I have about 30-35 pounds of liverock in mine right now.

If i can get enough people to buy everything I will part it out, But i just dont want to end up with a bunch of left overs and no new tank to take its place.

I would recommend that you stay with as large a tank as you can. Honestly, the smaller the tank, the more fragile it becomes and time-consuming to maintain.

Just my humble opinion.

Not to get into debate mode, but I think how much you have to do as far as maintaning a tank depends more on how much equiptment you have then anything. I have nano tanks, and the only maintenance I have to do other then testing, is dose my b ionic, and a weekly water change. On a two - 4 week basis I swap out carbon or my purigen. Most things you have to do no matter the size of the tank. You should do regular water changes, you should clean the glass, things like bulbs depend on time not tank size same with chemical media.

I wouldn't worry about going smaller. I think I like the 8 gallon tank on my desk at work more then any other size tank I have ever owned.

Also while it is true that a swing to the bad can happen faster in a smaller tank, so can correcting a problem.
