Hello, I currently have a jbj nano cube 12g, which has been running for a little over a year. I found a used 24g jbj nano cube and was able to pic it up for free. Just wanted to get some opinions on if I should move up to it to gain some space since it was free, or continue to hold off and pass. The tank has been cleaned up and leak tested for 2 days in my garage without any issues, but it looks pretty beat up in general (primarily scratches).

Anyways, here are some pics wet and dry as it seems the scratches do somewhat go away -ish, when wet.

And just a PSA, this would be temporary for another year, as I am saving up for a Waterbox 110.4 next summer. So I'm looking to my fellow reefers to see what they think.

I went from a 35 to 125+31 gallon sump. Best move so far.

Nice! Yours looks great!

That's my game plan next year lol. Going to go from the 24 to a WB Reef 100.3 or WB Marine X 110.4 (still deciding on if I need or want the 4ft tank lol.)
