    Amen.

    More rock, sand, salt, fish, light, corals to go on rock, etc, etc. (not to mention time.)

    I think increase in $$$ is exponential. :p

    55 is too small!!

    would love to have a 125 or 180, weight becomes a factor though. My 55 is nice but way too small, a good learning tank.

    Even though I am planing a bigger tank, I love my nanos! The wife keep asking if I am going to take them down once the big one is up and running but I doubt it.

    I've been tempted to get a nano as well. And yes the cost, weight, and time are real on the big boys!

    I currently have a 120 that was an upgrade from my 55 that I basically started out in the hobby with. I love the extra room and since the tank is in my finished basement on a tile floor weight was not an issue. I belive that the larger tank gives you so much more flexibility and room for error. ;)
    The downside is that more room = more $$$ in live rock, fish, corals , more powerful equipment etc. I think that this is the biggest tank I will get ( unless I win the Lottery) LOL

    when i get older.....at least a 120. For now im sticken to my 55gal and maybe a 10gal nano. But i was offered a 90 gal while on vacation.......maybe a 90gal freshie tank? parents dont want to spend more money on larger tank when current one isnt even near "Mature with coral/stuff". oh well.....
