Reefer friends!!! We are two months into this hobby with a BioCube 32 and have gone completely off the rails with upgrading lighting, filtration, protein skimmers, algae reactors, bio reactor, CO2 system, Neptune monitoring system- everything. Absolute insanity.

My dear husband under the impression that a larger tank (90-100 gallons) would be easier to manage- less drastic swings (theoretically) in all of the numbers, etc. The idea of a larger tank with a larger cabinet underneath is attractive to me because I won’t have to look at all of this “fish stuff” on the floor next to the Biocube.
I am begging for your very honest feedback and thoughts! Please let me know what you think and share your experiences, thank you!!!❤️

Sounds like there isn't much of a debate. Both of you listed the pros of having a larger tank + sump. I say go for it if you want :)

I’m a biocube 32 owner myself.

Honestly, with the amount of equipment you’re already running, why not upgrade to a bigger tank? The tank is often the least expensive part of a setup and it sounds like you already have most of the equipment you’d need. If you wanted to stick with AIO’s you could get a bigger one of those.

And here’s my 32g, just for fun.
