Victoria -
I agree about things happening more slowly in larger tanks. And I'm glad to see you're already planning your next tank. I'm currently beginning the process of downsizing from a 240 to a 180. I really don't want to, but I love my 240 so much since going reef (from
FOWLR) that I can't stand that it's in the garage (the only place it would fit). I've got a perfect spot for a 180 (tank arrived today, still waiting for stand/canopy) and it will allow me to keep all the equipment (sump,
refugium, pumps, etc.) in the garage.
Of course, this is all just a precursor to my final plan: my fish room. I have decided that the only way to keep all the fish & corals I love is to have 3 separate tanks: I've decided on a 180 SPS, a 180 LPS, and a 500
FOWLR (I love angels and butterflies). And the only way to achieve this and still have time for work, family, fun is to have them all together with centralized filtration. Even though it's still years away, it's been a blast planning it.
Keep us up to date on the 300. I plan on doing the same with my 180 and eventually the fish room.
