About the two tanks side by side - In my opinion this is a mistake.

What you should do is cut your loses and invest in an 8 foot tank. It would take up exactly the same amount of space. The total water in your system would remain the same, so all of the supporting equipment would cost exactly the same, but the possibilities would be so much greater. You could keep much more interesting fish in an 8 foot tank as opposed to two four footers.

The stand would be the same size and the room and everything would stay the same - just combine the two tanks into one big one.

Ask around for custom tank builders - I can recommend one if you like.

Sell your two 4 footers. You can probably sell them right here on Canreef. Add a little bit of your own money and get a big tank.

I bet that if you setup the two 4 footers, in a year you will wish you had one big tank.

Default re: two tanks

but one tank limits possibilities...if i want larger preditorial fish or coral, i cant have the smaller colorful fish, two tanks give me range,one side coral reef, other side,possible octopus, sea horse, crazy anemone etc, am i wrong???
