Use skim milk so your skimmer doesn't have to work overtime

yeah, sugar/vodka dosing DOES work...however it isn't something I'd be willing to try.
Drip acclimation is like Chinese water torture. It will stress the fish more. It is better to just add small amounts of water periodically.
^myth, btw.

Bigger tanks are easier to keep.

Aren't they? Cause you have more room for error and what not
And how about:
Lowering your salinity will help fish breathe better.

This is what we call a generalization.
As well as an opinionated statement.
It's not necessarily wrong...I just don't like when people use it.

obviously nano tanks are less expensive, less stock smaller water changes you get the point. the real question is water quality. is it not easier to maintain water quality with frequent water changes? imo
The reason the generalization that smaller tanks are harder to keep is made...is because smaller tanks tend to have more fluctuations. Take temperature for example. If the power goes out and the room temperature decreases dramatically, a larger tank will remain the same temperature (or very close to it) for several hours, the temperature will slowly decrease, and no livestock will be lost. Small tanks on the other hand will crash very quickly and livestock may not last very long.

I would like to here some of the MANY crazy myths out there about this and that to do with saltwater tanks.... Type away..
Before adding fish to your tank you should throw in a Jumbo Shrimp from the grocery store to check if the water is right.....

There is a smaller margin for error. A smaller tank is not diluted as much because of less water volume. That is not to say that smaller tanks are bad. A friend of mine downgraded his 210 for a 40 gallon reef. Maintenance is definitely easier on a smaller tank. You just have to be on top of checking the stats.
