Do you wish there was something you could do differently with your tank?

[Gumbies R Us]

I know that a lot of us wish we could have done something different with our tank. Maybe we wish we would have chosen a different aquascape design, a different tank brand, or maybe different livestock choices. I want to know what do you wish you could do differently with your tank.

Right now I wish I could have gotten more live sand and did not go with crushed coral. Live and learn, when I'm over this algae nonsense I will like the crushed coral a lot.

There's a few things.
First, I wish would have set my peninsula up the way it was meant to be in the first place instead of waiting a year to fix it. Trying to rotate and then level the tank after draining nearly all the water while your torch polyps slowly ooze out of the skeleton is both stressful and hard work.
Second, I wish I did my stocking better. Looking back I should have gotten the CJ Goby first, probably a couple other peaceful fish after that. Then I should have gotten my clownfish last, instead of first and letting her have free use of the whole tank unopposed for 8 months. Now she's a terror.
Third, waited until things were more established and stable before getting certain coral and inverts.
Last, I wish I went for the bigger tank with a sump instead of an AIO. Don't get me wrong, my tank is great, especially after rotating it and being able to see what has been a mystery to me for a year. It's just the AIO is limited on space in the back and a sump has so much room for activities.

Sorry for the long winded post
