Hi, all. I'm seeking some advice. I'm considering a new tank build that would take advantage of available vertical space but have a smaller footprint and therefore more limited square footage for O2 exchange at the surface of the water. Something along the lines of 30x20x42" tall or perhaps slightly less. This tank would consist primarily of corals and very few fish/inverts.
Could this work? If I used power heads to keep the surface water moving vigorously and circulating well throughout the tank? I'm aware taller tanks create maintenance challenges. I'm interested in hearing thoughts about keeping that sort of tank size sufficiently oxygenated.
