as most of u know, I have a 10 gal cube. I was gonna get the IM15 gal but I was able to get my 10gal cube 1-2 months quicker.
Last rap ny, a store was selling a full im15 cube for only $80!!!! So im thinking, if I go in with big boy budget, I can get a new tank!! sell my old 10 gal? would I be able to get new sand, plop that in, plop the rock and all corals in basically immediately? my current tank(this June, when rap is) would be running for 1 1/4 years!!!
main plan: get tank, put sand in, put water, put rock with coral, put coral, and fish, and in 1 day...
so please tell me your thoughts
stock: 10+ snails(turbo, astrea, nass)
4(I think) hermits
asterina(never hurt anything)
Krusty the clown
acros(bird, bonsai, green slimer)
stylo
acan
5 hammers
goni
gsp
zoas
duncans
RFA
xenia
maybe more?
please tell me what you think!!

edit: well... looking at the dimensions, I dont think it would really be an upgrade... its barely even bigger in size

If you really want to get a bigger tank you might want to consider Facebook marketplace. The biggest consideration there aside from condition of tank is you’ll have to , usually pick it up yourself. What’s max budget here anyways? If you can swing it this is a nice starter kit brand new from IM and it doubles the space

That’s the problem. You didn’t ask Dadanister aka @robanister
that's the other problem
he sent me 300$ worth of shrooms over the summer(for free)
my frogspawn decided to suic**e bomb the whole tank early October/late October
and everything he sent me died
