Dixon1990 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Would a 70L 2 foot tank be big enough for a marine tank with a few coral and fish? If it is what equipment would i need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Have you bothered to read the sticky in the saltwater forum about starting a marine tank..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 yeap, just now. But it doesnt say if this tank would be big enough. ANd that is what i would like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Anythings big enough for marine, it just depends what you put in it, what equipment you have, how much money you have, how much effort you put into it, and what you want it to look like.

tHEcONCH Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Yes, it is big enough provided you set it up appropriately, but bear in mind that marine tanks need to be kept at a near constant temperature and salinity to do well, and the smaller the tank, the harder that is to do.

tHEcONCH Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 No sure, depending on how much money i have left after ive finished setting up my 2 3foot tanks :roll: Even for a small tank, I don't think you'd get much change out of $1000.00, so think carefully before you start!
