Reefing newb
I've been doing my research for quite some time now and noticed one thing I've been hearing and reading a lot about when working with reef aquariums. They all mention having crabs and snails in the tank when caring for one. Is this a "requirement" to have these in the tank as a part of the cycle or is it recommended?
While I'm at it, how adequate is a 60 gal tank for a comfortable reef and fish environment? Would you recommend starting off with a larger tank? The reason I ask is I've read around that a good beginner tank size is 55 gallons, so it has me guessing that it isn't going to be adequate in the future?
I've worked with koi ponds for years now, so I think I have a general idea of how things should be, however, an aquarium is a whole new ballgame, so I want to start off on the right foot. :)
Thanks,
Friday.
