Nothing beats the stability of a vase for one gallon setups, due to salinity control that is better than a 300 gallon reef (bigger isn’t always more stable)
Why its easier to grow sps in a fishbowl than in a normal reef tank

I have a 2.2 gal cube.
I’m just cycling now. But things I’ve already learned. Don’t try it without a temperature controller and a fan on the cooling side. The equipment will heat your water. My heater has never kicked on, only the fan.
If you are wanting to keep sps, bare bottom.
Those cheap little water bottle ATO’s can be set up to top off after very little evaporation. Mine refills after about 1/8 of an inch of evap. Even better than that part, there is nothing that can go wrong and either not fill my tank or even worse, over fill it. It uses physics, not automation.
