Tank upgrade in your future? Here are some tips for going bigger!

[Rick Carson]

I'm planning on upgrading my Waterbox 40.2AIO to a Waterbox 50.3 AIO which i've had for 5 years. I only have fish in for now. Which is the best and easiest wat to do this? Can I use the water from my old tank? I was not planning on using the old live sand but I do have live rock and media that I was going to transfer over to the new tank. Is this a good idea or not? Thanks for any input and or advice on this you can give.

I currently have a 65gal thats been running for almost 2 years successfully. I just purchased a 225gal tank that im in the process of resealing and drilling for an overflow and returns. Hopefully will have it up and running by next summer

depth is a pain, im at 30" deep and with a 210G and I think a 180 more manageable, not being able to reach your sand bed easily through canopy makes for some long term issues. Next tank will be starfire glass for sure

I just got a 225 thats 30" deep. Thankfully I have long arms but I'm sure that its still gonna be a pain.

Me too, its not so bad if you take the canopy off. And im in no rush to switch to a 180 anytime soon. A starfire 180 probably my dream tank
