How to plan your first marine aquarium

From ReefPedia

In the section I will detail how to begin planning your new aquarium. The first consideration is size. How big should the tank be. The ideal answer is as big as you afford. A larger tank volume makes it easier to maintain. Although many aquarists choose to keep "nano" tanks which have a volume of under 20 gallons. The parameters of these small tanks can fluctuate very quickly. I would recommend beginning with a 40B or a 75 gallon aquarium because of the added depth. This will make it easier to aquascape - stacking live rock.
