Video Description:
Picking up from where we left off last week, we start by finishing the 8 things to consider when buying a saltwater Tank.

Size is an important consideration, and we don’t recommend small tanks or large tanks. Small tanks are dangerous for beginners, let’s say anything 10 gallons or less, because small mistakes can have big consequences. But large tanks, let’s say over 100 gallons, are super expensive and can give beginners too many options to start with, overcomplicating things.

Our ideal beginner size would be between 20-75 gallons with a rear filtration chamber.

It’s important to know what your livestock goals are. If you know there is one fish you can’t live without, then you are going to have to build everything around that one fish. For example, if you want a trigger fish in your tank, you can’t have most corals, your tank needs to be between 150-300 gallons depending on the species, and triggerfish will eat other fish.

There are four basic tank shapes, square, rectangle, bowfront, and curved edges.

Hobbyists use all sorts of jargon when talking about tank styles. We go over cubes, rimmed, rimless, lagoon, frag, all in one, and a few more.

And lastly, do you need a stand? Maybe. If your tank is 20 gallons or less, you may be able to get away with a sturdy desk, table, or countertop, but anything more and you’ll want a stand.
