Compatibility math

Downstream requirements

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

Example: 25g points to about 65-125W of heat and 750 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.

Professional fit context

Check display volume, total volume, footprint, included sump/stand, and what equipment is still missing.
