I currently have a 30 gallon tank at home, and have been thinking of putting together 3 gallon tank for work or my bedroom. For starters if I do go through with it, which will a better starting kit?
Desktop & Small Aquarium Starter Kits: Picotope 3 Gallon Aquarium Kit
or
Desktop & Starter Aquarium Kit: 3-gallon Deco Kit Aquarium
This will be a very basic tank with a DSB a few lbs of LR and some simple corals that I will take from my main tank, the only other inhabitants will be a couple small snails and a gold banded coral shrimp. Will this setup be ok to be alone for 2 days if I do choose to keep it at work? Office is closed on sat and sun.
I understand its much harder to keep the smaller tanks in check due to the very low water volume that's why I ask about if it is ok for it to go unchecked for the 2 days. (Also the main reason I will not have any fish). I like the first due to its stronger lighting if I choose to take frags from my SPS in my main tank, but would even an 18 watt CFL be enough for them? or would they even survive in such a small tank?
All this is forward thinking a few months down the road, so all advice is highly appreciated, even if it is simply saying don't do it or keep it at home where I can monitor it 7 days a week even if only starting it out at home for a few months to stabilise it.
Thanks in advace!
