I am upgrading my tank again – will the third one be the charm? I currently have a Red Sea Nano Max 20g and really like it. Except, I want more corals… And my clowns are now laying eggs every other week… And the female doesn’t want anything around them... My poor fire shrimp has no antenna now after one of her rampages and my emerald green crab is hiding in the Kenya Tree. So I need more space!
After doing A LOT of research, I decided on an Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 40L. I am super excited to get more “floor space” for my corals. The plan is to do a tank transfer once the IM is up and running - and then tearing down the Red Sea. One tank is plenty for me! Some lucky soul will get a great deal on the Red Sea in about a month or so.
