Downsizing

Nano Chris · 04/30/2008, 09:19 AM

I have had thoughts of downsizing my 90 gallon setup splitting it up (selling everything seperate) and setting up a redseamax (something i can manage) because the 90 is just too much work im getting a little lazy. For you redseamax owners what do you think about them? I would be disassembling the 90 and setting up the redseamax in its place and selling the equipment locally. In the mean time i would setup a 20gall long temporarly till i get the money up for the redseamax.

I just setup a Red Sea Max last night with my friend. It looks nice and the stand seemed sturdy.

actually i personally believe the larger the tank the easier it is to manage and maintain, obviously theres more water to change but the tank will be more stable, still if you have made your mind up the very best of luck to you, hope it works out

I think if it's lazy you might wanna get a bigger sump. The smaller tanks are more work.

This is what i think, trying to cut back on spending money on more corals and all, because i dont have many now that way if i move them to the redseamax the tank would look more full looking, plus the increase in the cost of electricity, plus im working on getting a car and all so that cuts into it also...

I think you should do what you can financially afford and still enjoy the hobby.

Do what's best for you. Financial issues are different from lazy issues.
