Do I need a larger tank?

[RaymondL]

I have a 15 gallon (IM 15 Cube) and a 13.5 gallon (Fluval EVO) - Waterbox has a sale on now for a 20Gallon and stand - I'm very happy with what I have now and the set up of fish and corals. I'm trying to talk myself out from purchasing the waterbox because with it means that I'll have to spend again and more on set up: lights, ATO, etc......so I'm wondering if I'm happy with what I have what is the benefit of getting a 3rd tank - I know it's a bit larger, and with that more money for salt, substrate, live rock, etc...

I'm curious what other think and what motivated you to go bigger.

If I were to upgrade tanks, it's going to be for more than 5 gallons...

20g isn't much bigger then the tanks you already have. I would save up to get a bigger tank - more than just 5g.

ditto with above. Save up for at least a 40g or bigger

The only reason I would add another tank similar to what you already have would be if I wanted to keep something that I could not keep in one of the other tanks or experiment with different reefing methods. I have multiple tanks running and am seriously considering tearing a couple down but I have a new fairly larger build going on I can move them to. Taking care of multiple tank can get old after a while especially if you start having issues with one or more.

always need a bigger tank lol....in reality stick within space and financial limitations. you do not want it to be a stressor in your life but rather something you enjoy
