I have a serious issue build thread 220g reef coming soon

[DEWreefing]

Okay so my issue is I get the upgrade bug every year to 2 year so I started the hobby with a 125g then after one 1 year I upgraded to the 180g 6X2x2 it's a decent size tank. Well the bug has nibbled on me again so the 180g will be coming down soon and the 220g will be here tomorrow. Right now I am currently building my stand. 2X2 square 1/8" tube started today and already got the base done. Stand should be ready by next week. I believe the only reason i made it so far with the 180g is because i added a 40g breeder to it. I know I have a sickness it has to be all psychological. I'll put up some pictures of the forgotten hero's hahaha.

125g sorry it's sideways

Watch "9 1/2 MONTH UPDATE" on YouTube

What are the dimensions on the 220? I'm thinking about an upgrade from my 160.

Please build my stand! haha. Nice work.

I went 46g bow > 75g standard > Red sea Nano (because my build took too long) > 8’ custom shallow tank....... I got my first tank in February of this year and 4th about 6-7 months later.

Yeah I went from 55g long, 125g, 40g breeder, 180g, and now the 220g the future will be the 400g
