    Best size of a tank

    2ft is usually the standard for home marine aquariums. i actually thought you meant 3ft depth as in horizontal depth(width) hahaha. but if it’s 3ft deep vertically then it’s definitely going to be a challenge reaching the bottom and keeping corals at or near the base of the tank

    Is 2ft height sufficient for the angelfishes ? I heard they don’t do well in shallow tanks. Cause I really love them!

    Sorry for the late response, couldn’t reply the post. Haha

    Not possible. Even for 2feet depth, probably not possible for most adults to reach the bottom without tongs.
    Lighting and glueing lower frags might be an issue at 3 feet depth.


    Planning to do a mixed reef, replicating the ocean.
    They say angelfish likes deeper water and tanks.
    Would 2ft be sufficient for bandit, clarion and all ?

    you can get an external thermostat for more reliable control of the temperature you want to cool the water to.

    that.. i think really depends on individual height in relation to the tank dimensions hahaha. also depends on whether there’s a hood/rim above the tank that will add to its height. if you can access the tank from both front and back there shouldn’t be a problem. but i can imagine it being troublesome if you can only do maintenance from one side, and if the tank height is more than 2ft.

    Cool!
    Any recommendation for someone to install the thermostat ?
    Does any normal compressor work ?
    Does this save more electricity compared to a marine chiller ? Cost wise cheaper and more stable ?
    It kicks in on and off itself too ?

    depends on your goals. personally i would go for a 6ft if i had the space to accommodate for it. that said typically bigger tanks 6ft and above might as well install a compressor instead of a chiller. 4ft is a good size for a reef tank too.

    personally 3ft depth isn’t an issue if you’re keeping fish only but if you plan to load your entire surface area with corals it also means you probably need more lighting units for the spread

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    How does a compressor work? Just by an on off switch? Cause it’s not like an aircon where you have a remote control to adjust.

    Will it be hard for a adult to reach the bottom of a 3ft tank by hand?
