A unique set of skillsĪs a result of all of these “upgrades” I have developed some skill at changing tanks to move up in size and also how to move a tank from one location to another, which I have also done at least half of a dozen times. A good time to consider moving up in size on a tank is when the corals start growing into one another. So, before you decide to move to a bigger and I mean lots bigger tank, take this into consideration. It was the perfect size to work on, I had access to all sides, the corals thrived, and I did not need to find or build industrial-sized and over-priced equipment to run it. Truth be told I should have never moved up to the 1200 as to this day the 540 was the best tank I have ever had. Six years later I built my own 1200-gallon tank, as I could not find a manufacturer to build me one, and everything was moved again. Three years later that was replaced with a 540-gallon tank, and I knew I would never want a bigger tank. A year later it was switched out to a 240-gallon tank, and I promised that would be big enough. When it was empty, I still remember thinking how big it was and how I would never be able to fill it. It was in my small apartment and as soon as I moved to a house I immediately upgraded to a 120-gallon tank. I still remember starting with my first 55-gallon reef tank which was doing well for the time. I say this from experience as I have changed my tanks from healthy tanks to bigger tanks at least a dozen times over the last 39 years. We achieve a thriving healthy tank full of corals and then we break the tank down so we can go bigger as we never seem to have enough.
