What is the smallest size tank for SPS's

[brad65ford]

Hey guys, I've been running for years and only the last 2 years I've been trying my hardest with sps's and nano size tanks. Trying to get a stable system is not easy with a 10g shallow frag tank. While I do see growth I know I could do much better.

So I know its been asked before and everyone will say go as big as you can but I'm really wondering what is the smallest gallon size would it become easier to maintain SPS corals?

I've seen many pico reefs with SPS.

I am able to keep SPS in my 6g fluval edge successfully but I have an automatic dosing system to maintain my alkalinity.

I also do 80% water changes weekly to maintain calcium/magnesium and that also keeps my nutrient levels in check.

Thanks guys, still waiting on the dosers from bulk reef. Amazingly I dropped from 8 dhk to 6.4 in two days. I so need a dosing setup asap.

I have some in my 7.5 gallon and they do well.
