LoL....once the upgrade bug hits, it never goes away. If your not upgrading you tank your gonna be upgrading something else. It hit me hard

Didn't I say to you when we first met at Steve's house, that I can see you will running a 120G soon? I can see you you will upgrading again from 72 to 120G, who knows maybe 180G.

That's what most of people in this board going through. I started from 30G to 55G to 65G to 90g to 120g within an year and a half. Now I am thinking 180G.

yeah, yeah... i hate it when people are right :lol:

if you upgrade, can you sell me your stuFF...

...BAD BAD influence!! :banghead:

i-c you got bit from the upgrade bug... I went from a 30 to 55 to 72 and now a 120... now i feel the 120 is too small.

Steve good thing Jonathan built the stand extra long, I guess he could see into the future :icon16:

But the only problem is, I want a tank that is 30 inches deep.

upgrade bug hit me I'm going from a 180 to a 450.... maybe bigger?

if you have the room why not?

I think I'm the only one who doesn't want to go bigger than my current reef. I'm happy with a 120G and wouldn't want to do the work or spend the extra cash maintaing a larger tank.

I don't want to go bigger with my reef too.. Can't afford the electricity anymore.

Do you mean front to back dimension? That is what I have. You should visit me with Rich this week, bring your suction handles and you can take the tank home:lol:.

Can that stand hold the additional weight, let alone your apartment floor, or does it need to be reinforced.

 

[stingnyc]

Yes I mean 30 inches front to back. I want a 60 X 30 X 24.

 

[inkblue]

yeah, after looking at some dimensions, I think mine shouldn't be 20" wide, maybe less, like 16" :scratchch

To go bigger on a Fish only tank doesn't add alot more cost but for a reef tank it really adds on from needing a bigger protein skimmer to more lights to more addatives.

I made the jump from a 20gal to a 160gal tank. They have them on sell, when I lived in Brooklyn, for $199 which was the tank and a iron stand. The cost of a 55gal with stand was about $100 less so it was worth the additional $$ to get the larger tank.

i'm not in the market for a new tank, only dreaming...
