60 gallon warmwater reef or 60 gallon coldwater reef?

[coral keeper]

This question just keeps on running around my head all the time! lol So, should I set up a 60 gallon warmwater reef or 60 gallon coldwater reef? I have a maroon clownfish that I already had for 1.1 years so far and its going to out grow the tank soon. Its my sisters clown, so she doesn't want to sell it or give it away. It is going to cost almost the same to set up a warmwater reef and a coldwater reef tank. The warmwater reef I can make my own rock with some LR to seed it. But then there are those really cool coldwater anemones and stuff and the very cool warmwater stuff too. lol I just can't make up my mind!!!lol

Coldwater!
Some of the fish are really expensive, but you would have a very unique set up.

 

[dah-nah]

I agree with Angler Man. Coldwater tanks are much more unique and you could keep Catalina gobies! Best of all gobies IMO!!

Catalina gobys live on the coast of CA and I know where they are in CA.

You have to put one of those gorgeous boxfish in it. So, when are you getting started with your coldwater tank?

Yeah. I already made the coldwater reef tank diary. Here is the link. I'm going to be getting the Acrylic sheets to build the tank next week.

lol.

Coldwater tanks are cool, but you can't argue with the warm water reefs' simple feeding demands of light and the occasional supplemental feeding...
