Upgrading to new tank and lights.

paulde1934 · 2026-09-20T15:28:40-0400

Hello I’m new. I’m ready to upgrade to a bigger tank I now have a 35.2 gallon waterbox up and running for about 3yrs with a kessil A360x.. I’m looking at an innovative marine ext100 or possibly a 150. I have all LPs I like the fleshy corals but open to some sps after my new tank is up and running for at least 1yr. Now as far as lights I wanna switch to either echo tec g6 blue or possibly Dalua for the lower watz but I’m here to get some recommendations on lighting I like simple

and does echo tec Mobius app still have issue?

Welcome! Id say go for as large a tank as your space and budget allow. Rarely do I see anyone comment that they wish they had gone smaller on their tank size.

I think you see that a lot go the route just like you and start off small and if they remain in the hobby end up with several larger and larger tanks until they find their sweet spot. Some go nano and always stay nano, so whatever size you choose, I wish you success!

Thank you!

Maybe I could get some suggestions from you on lighting? For my near future tank?

Hi- I would also consider the Reefbreeder Meridian. It gets solid reviews. Go with the bigger tank. I wish I had.
