Here's an honest answer for you. I wish I hadn't gone bigger. I have found my interest has waned, I don't deal well with loss, especially since setting up and losing my most expensive corals that thrived in my smaller tank. Costs are not the issue for maintenance, but I just found maintaining the smaller system was easier, took less money to fill with corals. I've thought about getting out but as I bought almost all of my equipment new, I'm gonna get my money's worth and keep it going. I've thought of going to a fowler or downsizing but the tank was a gift from my family and means a lot! Whatever size you go to, make sure its not going to overwhelm, become a chore to look after and fits your lifestyle.
