Is this normal??

[Sparent25]

I set up a first timer pico reef about 2-3 weeks ago in a Fluval 2.6g with an a80 kessil light and I’m already (and constantly) researching larger AIO tanks on BRS

Unfortunately yes.

Time to upgrade!

I upgrade to a bigger tank after 4 months.

I can totally understand the appeal of pico tanks but for a new reefer as a first tank is just not worth it. You’ll usually end up loving your tiny tank and wonder why you didn’t get a bigger tank to start with .

You’re so limited with smaller tanks. I can’t blame you for wanting to upgrade. 30g is kind of the minimum IMO for keeping a lot of things. Smaller can be done. But bigger is always better.

My wife and I upgraded sizes in only 3 months... it's normal!... or that is what we tell ourselves anyways.

We are still talking about upgrading again or even adding a third tank.

My last tank was a 240 gallon... kept telling myself this is perfect size and I’d never want to go bigger. A 450 is currently being built for me

Picos are like bonsai trees. Beautiful in a specific way.
