I want a bigger tank. That means I'm going to have to add on to the house. And it was like no discussion. Like, okay, cool. We're just going to add on to the house. That's what we do when we want a bigger aquarium when you're a reef junkie.
If you ever go to move a saltwater tank or any tank or really anything, crane days are easy days because you say, 'I want that item right here and I want you to put it over there.'
This thousand-gallon tank is going on the second story of my house, which means we had to put steel underneath it.
If you've never had a peninsula, get yourself one. It will change your life because it's three tanks. One, two, three in one.
If you think you want to redo your aquascape and you're like I'm just going to move one rock. You'll never get it back to how it was and then it's like Pandora's box.
