Compatibility math

Downstream requirements

tank gallons drive heater watts, flow GPH, skimmer rating, and light spread

Example: 42g points to about 105-210W of heat and 1,260 GPH mixed-reef flow.

The tank is the constraint every other component has to satisfy.

Risk notes

  • A tank can look affordable until you account for the light spread, skimmer room, stand access, and upgrade path it forces.
  • Price is marked as estimated, so verify current vendor pricing before treating the budget as final.
