If you could change one thing about your tank...

[User]

My tank is 60”x18”x24”. Internal overflow. I would like it to be 60”x36”x24” with an external coast to coast overflow, or at least a synergy overflow. So bigger and no internal overflow.

In 6 months, be sure to update saying you wish you hadn’t gone with a synergy, and picked something else to begin with...

Id have a 6 footer. I feel really limited fish-wise with 75g. Also, a 180 would have given much more freedom when I scaped it. I wish I had more substrate for fungia and scolys. Ok, thats more than 1 thing...

I would have dun my tank as a coral only tank and then do a fish only tank instead. I have a mix reef.

I should've paid the extra for the "no diatom bloom" option.

I have a 120 corner overflow.
I wish I would have turned it and had it been a peninsula.

Me too!

1st rid of red planaria, they are mroe a nuisance and not overtaking btu would rather not use chemicals, 2nd new tank/stand (already planned), and with that a good qt/dip regime

No vermatid snails!

Probably a larger tank, Nothing crazy but I think an IM 20 nuvo would have given me some more wiggle room- maybe someday, still love my evo though!

nothing wrong with that, I'm currently planning an upgrade myself, goign to go from a 20g with sump to almost 70 gallons display

Nuvo 40 Vs 20. It's filled up faster than I thought.

I would have a sump. Never again doing hang on the back equipment.

Yep, I wish the tank was drilled so I could have a sump.

Custom built tank rather than a Red Sea

Bigger of course!

1. I wish I would have not been di afraid of posts st the beginning and started the tank with live rock vs dry rock... and dosed nitrates and phosphates from the beginning... then maybe no dinos!!!!

2. I like my 75g, but a bigger 180g would have been awesome!

Would have gone with a 6' 240 instead of the 6' 120. Much more room front to back.

 

[ThunderGoose]

Everyone's saying bigger so let me say something different.

I wouldn't have gotten anemones. I have two types of BTAs and they keep splitting. I hate spending the time to get them off the rockwork. Such PITAs.

They always do no matter the size.

Automate with Apex or GHL and have a tech person to set it up for me

I recently completely rebuilt my entire system so I fixed everything. I cannot overemphasize how important it is to label ALL your power cords and power bricks.

250g+ instead of a 100g DT..... oh well..
