Picking the right sized tank is critical to having success with saltwater fish, pick one to big and it can be a nightmare. Pick one that's to small and it can be hard to keep things alive. For these reasons the 75 gallon reef aquarium is by far one of the most popular sized tanks second only to the 55 gallon. It is a great size for beginners for a variety of reasons.
Perfect Tank Size - The more water a tank can hold the more stable it will be. This stability will make it easier to keep fish and live coral alive and healthy because your temperature and other tank parameters will not swing wildly like they can and do in a smaller tank.
Additionally the 75 gallon tank has a four foot length and will give you plenty of room to aqua scape your reef and give your fish adequate swimming room.
Easy On The Budget - Almost all experts agree that the beginning reef aquarist should buy the most expensive set up the can afford because it is easier to care for. While this is true to an extent there is a thresh hold that can be crossed and anything over four feet long is going to be harder for the beginner to care for and be almost twice as much to set up. By sticking with a 75 gallon reef aquarium you not only will be laying out less cash to set it up but you will also have a great selection of equipment to choose from. Not to mention lower power bills from having less equipment running to support your tank.
Resale Appeal - Almost every reef aquarist will want a bigger set up someday so they can keep more fish and coral. In most cases when that time comes they often must sell their old set up to make room for the new one and get money to help pay for their new system. Having a system that is a popular size like the 75 gallon reef aquarium will make selling it easier then if you were trying to sell a larger system that holds hundreds of gallons.
