Upgrade?

Have been thinking about a larger tank. Have a 125 and its in the dining room it is 72x18x22 was thinking of going to a 150 or 180 or maybe a 220. want more space front to back. My real question is how long do I have the new tank up and running before you start moving stuff over. I was thinking like four plus months. when i started the tank I have it was all base rock 150 plus pounds and like 8 pounds live and all new sand no live. I wasn't going to move the sand might seed the new and probably would move the existing live rock and coral over a little at a time just thinking and was looking for some input. thanks as always.

When I transferred I put my stuff in a stock tank set up the new tank, put in new sand then all the rock and water. No cycle no lost livestock.

 

Thanks, any thoughts on the 150 gal 4ft by 24 deep and 35 tall tank

 

I like tanks so Im a length guy personally

 

43 looks and two opinions wow

 

220 sounds cool. you could put a whale in that... ;D just kidding.. but you could have a lot of options with that

 

35" tall is a beautiful tank to look at, but a royal pain to clean/maintain unless you're 6'6" and have gorilla arms.

For a brief time I had (and have now empty in my garage) a Deep Sea Aquatics 185. It's 60" x 24" tall x 30" front/back. The 30" gives you amazing area to work with to aquascape.

My original build thread on the tank is here:

I agree here ^.

I like longer tanks, over taller.

 

Thanks, I guess then it means a taller stand. Want to look into the tank not down at it.
