After ensuring that my apartment options will allow the tank size and renters insurance will indeed cover any property damage if a leak were to happen, I am leaning toward two tank options.
Waterbox Frag 85.3 or 105.4
Stocking list in order of desire:
1. 2 clownfish
2. 2 cardinalfish
3. Lawnmower blenny
4. A utilitarian wrasse such as six-line
5. Orchid dottyback
6. Goby pistol shrimp pair
7. Bristletooth tang (this would only be for the 105.4)
8. Red scooter dragonet
9. Royal gramma basslet
10. 3 pajama cardinalfish
Can a 85.3 (~54 gal display 3ftx2ft) support everything except the pajamas and tang (9 fish total)? Can a 105.4 (~72 gal display 4ftx2ft) support everything on the list (13 fish total)?
Realistically, is 20 more gallons that much harder to move if I ever change apartments? The difference in volume between the two is around 25% more water. The apartment doesn’t restrict tank size at all and the floor can support either
