  I started keeping aquariums almost 40 years ago. Ten gallon aquariums were quite the standard for a long time. They weren't called "nano" tanks (nano is a unit misnomer) back then. They were the common size tank many hobbyists had.  I find this discussion important, and it shows how things come back around again. A larger tank is technically more ecologically stable, but ten gallon tanks have benefits. Ten gallon aquariums are approachable from several standpoints. They are approachable for beginners, home space, weight, time commitment, and very importantly, expense. After all these years, I actually prefer smaller sized aquariums. They allow me to take a deep dive into a speciality without a lot of expense, time, or space. The hobby should not a source of stress and hassle. Some times bigger isn't always better, and less is more.

  I just replaced a rack that held two 75s &amp; two 55s with a ten gallon rack with 24 10G tanks... I breed a lot of guppies/ live bearers, Corydoras and Bushynose plecos... 10 gallon tanks are very, very handy...! Especially for a breeder...!

  &quot;In other places like Europe shipping is still super-duper cheap&quot; LOL! That really depends on the country in Europe, you&apos;re ordering from. The prices vary a lot from country to country and company to company. When I&apos;m buying things online it takes forever, because I&apos;m loading my cart on 10 different websites, and then going to checkout in all of them, in order to find the best offer.

  I bought the Magic Nano as a second food to feed for variety for my chili rasboras (I was already feeding Bug Buffet which they love and it breaks down into very fine particles for them.) It quickly became just as popular as their other food and I love it because it hangs in the water column long enough for them to eat it all. I feed in a long tank and my chilis all come from all over when I put that food in, and their color is now a deeper red. Added bonus, my shrimp love it too.

  I got a 3 gallon for my daughter which has worked out great. It’s perfect for 3 guppies and Java moss. Her 10 gallon had sprung a leak and is now a terrarium. For me I really like the panoramic look of the 20 long.

  That&apos;s why I like 20 gal Longs (and longer tanks in general). It feels like a panoramic 10 gal.<br><br>More surface area for oxygenation and it being shallow means easier maintenance as far as reaching in the tank. I can run lights on a lower setting since the plants are closer to the surface. More space for more plants as well. <br><br>Feeding is easier for fish that normally prefer to eat mid column (they&apos;re likely to just come to the surface since it&apos;s so close). I also think the fish make better use of the extra swimming space horizontally rather than vertically.

  Sometimes you don&apos;t have the room for larger. I have two 10 gallon tanks, two 5 gallon tanks, one 20 gallon tank, one 55 gallon tank, and one 40 gallon pond (all freshwater). Each size restricts you to the size and/or amount of fish you can keep. I also have one 3 gallon saltwater with corals/snails only, and an empty 3 gallon for use as a med tank.<br><br>I have had algae issues in most of the tanks and pond in the past, but now, I&apos;ve homed in the light and plants so that there isn&apos;t any at all, or very minimal algae. Also, snails help with the algae issues a lot, specifically nerites!<br><br>I&apos;m doing weekly water changes and amount of water varies based on how many nitrites are detected.
