Hi all,

Anyone else have this problem?Started with a 40-gallon AIO cube. Upgraded after a year (this January) to a 75-gallon with dump. Looked huge at first. Even though there’s plenty of room for corals to grow still, the growth rate has expanded exponentially since I stabilized the system with ATO and kalkwasser, to the point I can actually see evidence of daily growth, particularly in sps. Not sure I’m even going to last a year before I start itching to upgrade again.:)

I started with a 75, and quickly knew that wouldn’t be enough. So I thought I was going to go BIG, and got a 180. Guess what? It’s never enough. I’m thinking of ways to justify a 400+ to my wife. Might take me a while to convince her that we need a bigger house so I can fit a bigger tank!

Omg, no matter if you upgrade to bigger size or not, just take a step back for a moment and look at how beautiful of an ecosystem you have there. I dream of having a tank that looks that good, no matter the size!!!

With that being said, I started with a 20g, moved up into a 90g, then to a 180g all within a year so I know the itch, its a hard one to scratch for sure!

Great job with that tank, so beautiful!
