So I currently have a IM 50 gallon AIO. A 10 gallon, 20% water change is quick and easy on a tank this size. However, I’ve already run out of room and am planning an upgrade. As I was considering a size, one question stuck with me:
Should I pick a tank size based on the size of water change I can perform?
I use a 44g Brute trash can for mixing saltwater. So realistically if I were to get a 180 gallon display I could only do about 20% max water change at one time. While I can fit a 6’ tank, I do not have the space to go with a larger mixing station.
Would you consider a 20% max water change capacity as good enough or setting yourself up for failure?
