I hear ya on the "2 months" thought....LOL. I'm hoping to hold out for much longer to really get good at it before going bigger (even though those are easier). I guess if I can make this work, I should be in good shape with a bigger setup. But yea, I'm already second guessing not going bigger. But, gonna give this a go for now.
I had a 90 gallon setup for freshwater a few years back, only basic canister filters there. This hobby seems to offer so many more options in the filtration world, pretty interesting. I sold my 90 gallon setup for good $ years ago when I decided to get out of the hobby. Wishing I hadn't done that now....but not sure how I could have sold the empty eye sore storage to the wife. LOL
