The biggest issue here for a hex tank is the lack of surface area. In saltwater, there is much less D.O. in the water. Thus the fish need to be in max D.O. pretty much the whole time. The lack of surface area makes max D.O. harder to accomplish. Combine it with a smaller tank and you get a recipe for mistakes.
