If You were to Start Over

[DYIguy]

First thing I would have done is join this club instead of the ones on facebook or believing what i read online- 'minimum size tank' 'not too aggressive' etc- I could have saved myself a ton of money, so many bad choices and missed opportunities ( freebies/ cheap stuff). I'm still living with some of those choices, a pink damsel that was not supposed to be very aggressive- chased a yellow coris out of one tank. I'v added some coral too soon and watched them just shrink and fade away. Some fish looked cool at first but became a pain after a while.
What you have done different?

If I could do it over I wouldn’t install a display tank.
I would just do large frag tanks. I would do 3x 8ft
Frag tanks and that’s it. Cleaning frag tanks are so easy.
Getting corals moved to a different tank is also easy.

making any changes on a 220 display is very hard.

Frag tanks are so much easier to maintain.

But what do you get to look at an enjoy? From the top? I like to sit in a chair and look at my DT with a drink at the end of the day

I would have just stuck to the one. Hehe

also, probably quarantining. Hehe

I would spend the money on a proper light. And take the time to set-up a one valve water change system.

For me it would be a bigger tank. I have a 4ft tank but a 5ft would have been nicer. Hind sight..
