Irish Rockpool Aquarium Adventures 
Hi I am new to fish keeping and I am wondering how many litres would I need for a rock pool tank? I am thinking about putting crabs, small fish and gobbies in the tank.
Thanks -Jordan
Hi Jordan. Congrats on trying to setup a rockpool tank 🙂
Big question…As with all aquariums the bigger the better. If you want to have fish you will need a skimmer to be sure you dont have long term problems. I think 100l is the absolut minimum also to give the fish enough swimming room.
be careful with crabs the can dig and upset rock structures so make sure they are solid and cannot slide 😉 learned the hard way…
Best of luck, let me know if I can help
Cheers
