Setting up your reef aquarium begins with choosing the right tank size and live rock base. For beginners, a 10-gallon nano reef tank setup or 20-gallon aquarium is a great start.
Check your aquarium dimensions carefully popular options include:
10 gallon tank dimensions: 20” x 10” x 12”
40 gallon tank dimensions: 36” x 18” x 16”
55 gallon aquarium dimensions: 48” x 13” x 21”
125 gallon tank: For serious reef keepers ready for coral colonies and tangs.
Your live rock for reef tank serves as natural filtration and habitat. Some reefers debate live rock vs artificial rock in reef tank setups live rock jumpstarts biological filtration, while artificial rock avoids unwanted hitchhikers like majano anemones
