I’m extremely new to this so pardon any ignorance on my part. I went into this with the mindset that 10-20 gallons would be a good start but after talking to LFS, aside from difficulty maintain stability in a tank that small, a small tank wouldn’t allow enough for natural filtration and the risk is in the high level of nitrates I would see.
