I have a serious issue build thread 220g reef coming soon

[DEWreefing]

Okay so my issue is I get the upgrade bug every year to 2 year so I started the hobby with a 125g then after one 1 year I upgraded to the 180g 6X2x2 it's a decent size tank. Well the bug has nibbled on me again so the 180g will be coming down soon and the 220g will be here tomorrow. Right now I am currently building my stand. 2X2 square 1/8" tube started today and already got the base done. Stand should be ready by next week. I believe the only reason i made it so far with the 180g is because i added a 40g breeder to it. I know I have a sickness it has to be all psychological. I'll put up some pictures of the forgotten hero's hahaha.

125g sorry it's sideways

What are the dimensions on the 220? I'm thinking about an upgrade from my 160.

Please build my stand! haha. Nice work.

I went 46g bow > 75g standard > Red sea Nano (because my build took too long) > 8’ custom shallow tank....... I got my first tank in February of this year and 4th about 6-7 months later.

Yeah I went from 55g long, 125g, 40g breeder, 180g, and now the 220g the future will be the 400g
