In all honesty, the smaller the tank the harder it can be to keep. While you may not experience as large of a hit to the wallet, you have a smaller water volume. This creates issues ranging from water chemistry to stocking problems. You are more limited in the animals you can use to help with problems such as pests, nuisance algae, fish waste removal and others.

So to think you have it easier is in a single word...wrong, you have it much harder, and rest assured if you can keep that tank up and going, you can keep just about any size tank your heart and wallet allows.

Your tank looks great! I have a 3g Pico too.. so don't let that 300g fool you! It's much harder to keep a small tank than it is a big tank! So take your kudos, MizTanks!!!
