I need an idiot proof answer. For example: A 125 gallon show tank reef would require a minimum of a 55 gallon tank with at least 6″ of sand to control nitrates. Surface dimensions is what I’m looking for. Thank you for any help. I am setting up a 210 next week so I wondering is I can use the current 55 gallon or even one of a lesser size. Paul
