Upgrading tanks - what's one thing you wish you would have done differently?

I would definitely make enough room behind the tank for better access.

Think and plan better, avoid the rush to get it set up and running.

Having just set up a larger tank (for now), I wish I went with coarser sand than fine.

What specific course type of sand? Can you send a link? CHeers!

Appreciate the advice, I’m in Canada so I can’t get live rock, only dry rock. Good looking tank!

i'm in Canada and my LFS has brought in wet ocean rock plenty of times. Also, i didn't look but you're likely to find pocillipora at fragbox.com out of T.O.

Thank you! Any reason in particular versus course? Just for the sake of blowing around more?

what were the main changes you would do? Some could be moving frags, no?

I think I just would have planned it out better instead of just putting stuff anywhere.

Made my bedroom bigger so I could have fit a 400G instead of my 200G.

My LFS told me it was illegal in Canada and I never looked into it past that to be honest. And just googled what pocillipora is and I’m not too sure what you mean, I don’t remember looking for that kind of coral
