I'm a solid 'NO'.

I got this 30 gal as a test. I rationalized that if I could keep a small amount of livestock alive, healthy and happy then I'd get a bigger tank.

Well, the tank I bought came with a Hair Algae problem and while I seemed to have it licked for a little while but it came back and I have tried everything to get rid of it -no luck.

I'm stuck now. I've decided the rock is to blame (sure, blame inanimate objects for your failures...) so now I'm torn as to if I should shut down, replace the rock and keep the tank, or go to the bigger tank and put 1/2 new rock and this rock -but only after I've boiled it.

I'm in for over $2k on this ****y little 30 gal so I'm thinking long and hard about upsizing when I couldn't even manage this little tank. IF the rock really is to blame then I'd be ok, if not, I'm just enlarging the size of my problem.

:neutral:

meh. mainly because this tank was setup in haste. When we finally moved in (3months) late , it was cold out and my pail of live rock and the few inhabitants i had left over from the 135 crashing were not happy. bought this one from a fellow reefer. Looking to get a new one this winter once i build a garage to build the stand, canopy etc etc.

i,d like to find a cube tank(again)

Meh. I still wanna add stuff, its ok... But it could be better (read: BIGGER)

If I wasn't worried about water damage, I'd put a hammer through mine. So that's a NO vote.

But, I'm gonna try again with my new 180, plus I bought a 29g biocube for the baby's room. One of these HAS to do better than my current tank....

I voted yes, but if I could change a few things, or would have researched a few more designs before and during my build, I would be happier with it.

I'm in the process of setting up my first salt water tank and I can't make up my mind how to arrange my dry rock before I even add my live rock to start cycling it. Already change it 4 times and I'm still not 100% on it

Super happy with everything. The only real regret i have is not starting out with a brand new tank, so i live with the scratches of the previous owner, so I'm with Christy on this one. Other than that, my corals are growing too fast. I'll probably end up getting rid of all corals in a year and then starting over from frags again.

i have a hair algae problem right now sooo Meh. its clearing up though sooo

The last option for not having a set up, made me giggle. I have the equipment, but won't be starting up the tank until we move :lol: it's interesting to see how many people are unhappy with their set up. Its interesting to hear what makes everyone unhappy. It seems you can never be happy enough with it!
