Small and NANO Tank (I'm calling a 5 gallon Nano tank). This is fun for me to setup such a little fishtank. The smaller the Aquarium the harder they are to keep. Remember that Little tanks aren't going to give you enough room to screw up.

What’s up Fishtank People?!
Fishtank tv.com Dustin’s Fishtank bringing it to YOU on a Sunday baby house everybody doinging I hope you are doing well.
So Today I want to start the SMALL TANK Series. Today I am going to setup a 5 gallon
NOTE: I own more 75s and 125 than any other size aquarium. Generally speaking the bigger the tank the easier it is to work with but through out this series we are going to be breaking this all down for you on the Pros and the Cons.
So TODAY we are going to start with the 5 gallon.
First- Finding a 5 gallon out of the gate wasn’t easy for me to do, perhaps it is because the dollar per gallon sale was going on…. OR more likely because a 5 gallon isn’t that great of a size of an aquarium.
We are going to get into the drawbacks and CONS of a 5 gallon in a minute, but first. Let’s start with the positives.
The Positives.
1. A small tank is easy to find a place for. They don’t take up a bunch of space, they are easy to move it you want.
2. A 5 gallon tank doesn’t require all that great of a stand. A gallon of water weights a little over 8 pounds. So a 5 gallon tank weights a bit over 40 pounds. NOTE: Those of you on that wonderful metric system (and those of you who aren’t) (Don’t ask me why only the USA, Liberia and Burma are the only countries in the world who haven’t switched to the metric system)
3. They are EASY to LIGHT. A small tank only need a little bit of light to penetrate to the bottom of the tank, conversely if you want to get hard core with the lighting tanks. Its not hard to POWER light these tanks.
4. It easier to do water changes. You can do a 20% water change with just scooping the water out into a bucket
5. Easy to plant! You don’t need whole lot to cover the bottom of the tank with plants.
6. Cheaper to Plant- You can use fancier, premium substrate which while it might cost more, you don’t need a ton of it.
7. Easier to Throttle up with Fertilizers-, adjust water parameters, heat ect.
8. Super easy to tear down and start over if you screw it up.
THE NEGATIVES.
1. A small 5 gallon doesn’t give you enough room to screw up
2. For example. If your filter goes bad or stops working, you simply don’t have the surface area of beneficial bacteria to catch up with the increase waste from fish.
3. You can’t keep a heavy fish load as there simply isn’t the room to hold them. Your fish selection is somewhat limited on both the AMOUNT of fish, and the amount of species to fit (there are still tons, but some, like slightly larger getting cichlids are OUT.
4. Equipment is limited for future growth. A heater, filter, or lights built to spec exactly a 5 gallon aren’t going to go far, when, you will inevitable upgrade later.
5. The Dominos fall FASTER- that is if something dies, the water volume is less, fish die quicker.
- If something gets sick, the disease is more condensed and could spread faster
- If something happens to your PH it would swing greater
- If something were to happen with your heater, either it sticks ON or stop working, the temps will swing harder
My goal and my Universal Gift to the Universe is to try to teach people how to Make AQURIUMS EASIER. With this as my credo and my Mantra- I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOUR FIRST TANK BE A 5 gallon Aquarium.
