Bigger water volume usually can lead to easier ability to maintain stability!

Id stay big! More options! Welcome!

 

[SPR1968]

I’d start with the bigger tank, more room and also more forgiving

Go BIG!!! If you can afford it, bigger is better. I personally find nanos a bit harder. But it all depends on what you’re after. Many options in this hobby.

Welcome to R2R!!! I would definitely start with the larger tank if not both at the same time lol

 

[dynastyreefs]

Welcome dynastyreefs.
Start with the 100 and sump.
I added a 20g satellite plumbed to same sump, after a couple of years, if you have the room.

I still have plenty A decent chunk of space down below

Thanks! I'm hoping everything goes smoothly I can't wait to see your builds, too!

Welcome to R2R
Larger tanks tend to be a bit more forgiving. Good luck!!!
