What would you do with a 2nd tank?

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

So if you have your first tank set up already and you managed to talk your S.O. into a 2nd tank, what would you do with it? Let's assume it's a 70-gallon...just for conversation's sake... Let's assume your first tank is a 225-gallon acro-dominant mixed reef... What would you do with the new 70-gallon tank??

I’ve always wanted to try either a MacroAlgae tank or a BTA/ clown tank. But since it will never happen, I won’t have to decide between the two.

FOWLR!

 

[FUNGI]

are you asking for a friend...LOL
Lion Fish......fish only. EDIT: Dwarf....before the Tang Police get here.

With a 70, probably an LPS-heavy tank. Too small to get all the FOWLR fish I'd want, and too big to do something like a seahorse/jawfish/macro/gorgonian tank (I'd probably want a 60 cube or so). Probably lots of sand bed for meat corals and rocks for euphyllia. Might even try gonis.

Are you describing me....
The second tank would have to be a frag tank! Place to grow coral out before it goes into the main display.

Likely be served divorce papers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nem tank — what’s what I did! lol

450gal DT and a 93gal Lagoon, full of Haddoni, CSBs, ChSBs, and mushrooms.

Good luck to your “friend”! ;)

Or 6th tank? Lol! I need another reef display, I only have one sps display, a fowlr, and three frag tanks. I’d go with a mixed reef or species only tank. Octopus? Sea horses, etc?

Guess we are tied! I almost plumbed up a frag tank and passed you last night. :)

I currently have SPS(150), nem tank (93), mixed (450), hospital (175) and hospital (20).

 

[56longroof]

Already have one. 75 gallon Rio Nanay biotope.

 

[Miami Reef]

Wow. That’s a tough question. My tank is a mixed reef, so I can have pretty much anything I want.

I’d only get a second tank as a QT. My stock is all clean, and I’m reluctant to risk bringing in a parasite that might mess that up.

 

[kevgib67]

I would have to go bigger and have a predator tank. Banana eel, lion fish, porcupine fish etc.

 

[stE26wy14]

well, first, u gotta give me that 225 acro tank, ill give u all my tanks, and get that 70, I would make it a mixed reef tank, with bta, haddoni, rfas and mixed reefs!!

 

[apeshot]

I think the second tank would be tempting to focus on LPS. Could do different aquascaping, lower light, would be great.

 

[LPS Bum]

I have 4 tanks, so I blew past 2 long ago. Would like to try a jellyfish aquarium sometime, but I don’t need a 5th aquarium.
