What do your current upgrade plans look like?

[Gumbies R Us]

I know for a lot of us, we are always planning on making upgrades to our tank. Maybe it is upgrading our tank to a bigger size, or the lighting for our tank. I am curious to know what are your current upgrades plans for your tank, if you have any!

 

[WarChief]

Automation will be my next big upgrades!

 

[Idech]

No plans for me. I’m happy with what I have. I just need to fill it now.

 

[Glenner’sreef]

If I win the lottery, I'm building a house around my next tank. Short of that, I'm upgrading my sump this weekend actually.

The next tank will be somewhere between 250-300ish gallons, peninsula set up and it'll be starting with all the good stuff.

Having just set up the 750g in Sept, and starting with (12) G6 Pros, (1) Panta Rhei ECM63 and (2) Abyzz Flow Canons 150. I can say that upgrades aren't needed for awhile.

All our equipment is located on an exterior wall of the house, and we have the (2) 180g outdoor frag tanks outside in direct sunlight.

While we don't have anything to upgrade, since we had such a rainy season this past winter there is lots of stuff that got 'washed' that needs to be replaced (mostly Apex modules). And a bunch of crap that just needs general clean up.

Our filter wall which was so fresh and clean a few years ago, doesn't look so great and looks like a wire nightmare after upgrading float switches, replacing skimmer pumps, updating to a 4k RO/DI System, a 340glass sump blowing out, upgrading the upper tank the skimmer sits in, the UV on the wall self destructing and leaking on everything below it - etc etc. We are in the midst of retiling our downstairs, so all the crap on the side of the house is my excuse, now that nice weather is here, for not getting into cleaning up the outside equipment. Everything works really well and other than swapping an Existing 220v 2500w Titanium Immersion heater with a 4500w 220v Bigger badder version, the rest is just clean and swap.
These are photos when we built the wall in Aug of 2018. I'm not willing to show what it looks like today - LOL

Next step is replacing filter socks and internal ATO on my Reefer 350 with a ReefMat and larger external ATO. Considering what I just spent on a bunch of corals, it’ll be a while.

Have a 45g cube now. Currently cooking rock for a Waterbox 125.4. Build / transfer will be in August.

 

[McPuff]

Maybe a larger RODI reservoir... have 65 gal but would be nice to have 100 gal. Otherwise, I'm happy with what I have and leaving it along for the warm months. :0)

 

[Nman]

Biuld a proper rodi station. At the moment screwed to a shed wall

 

[NkSde]

Im jelly! beautiful work and setup! Im new so I am sure within a year or two I will be adding tons of craziness that the wife will likely want to kill me over!

 

[A Young reefer]

I am looking into the aquatic life T5 hybrid fixtures to go along with my to AI primes and hydra 32. I am also considering getting a roller reef mat.

 

[furface]

My upgrade plans are throwing the Apex ATK auto top off straight out the bloody window and going back to something that works. What a piece of crap

 

[UtahReefer]

Oooo that’s going to be a nice build!

Thanks... Really looking forward to it. It ill be an SPS system, Gyre flow with Radion G6 Blue's. It's the slow phase right now waiting for the rock to cook but you can see my build thread here...
