Keeping 1 tank or 2

I need everyone's opinion I have 2 tanks a 40b with 30 g sump/refugium with t5s ho. My second tank is a 29g biocube no sump with the intake media baskets and fuge basket a radion xr 15 pro over the tank. my question is should I stay with my 40b and get rid of my biocube or stay with both tanks. I see myself transferring stuff from my biocube to my 40b more often than I would like, I basically have very little stock left in my biocube. I'm at a bind because I love both tanks and I just got the radions maybe a month ago so it socks to have to sell them but what should I do ! Both financially and time consumption wise. Give me your opinions.
 
Do what you like. Maybe experiment with the biocube? I keep a second 30 gal qt going and I totally ignore it lol. But it's great for incoming fish because it's fully cycled. I'm also contemplating a backup coral tank to make up for my coral hoarding tendencies lol.
 
The Biocube is very little extra work, I chose to keep mine up when I set up my 56 across the room. You don't have to spend a bundle to stock a very cool Biocube, so if it's already set up and running, I'd keep it.
 
Yea it's up and running for a year this up coming December. Holding sps and lps and zoas. I guess I will keep it up and running and try to stock it. With some decent size colonies. Frag tank maybe lol. It's just hard because I see my Breeder filling up faster than expected. Maybe if you guys shoot me some ideas I'll see what I can manage with it.
 
If you want it to fill up cheap just wait for a frag swap and buy out cheap corals last minute :) I love frag swaps

Explain this a little more lol. I have never been to one so as much details on this particular subject would be nice.

I think he means because most vendors don't want to take home what they didn't sell during the frag swaps, they will usually be more willing to do deals with you to get you to buy before the swap is over.

I'll usually walk around on the first day and buy the frags I really want and know won't be there on the last day. On the stuff I'm on the fence about, I'll wait till the swap is almost over and vendors usually do deals like BOGO or buy 2 get 1 free or just outright slash all their prices.
 
Cool there will be a mini frag swap in the new store aquarium king or kingdom or something along those lines on November 21
 
At macna a few years back on my way out on the last day I found this vendor from cali who told me it'll cost him more to take it all back. I bought some amazing frags @ dollar menu prices. :D
 
Wow ! I don't think I'll get that lucky lol but once I get to go to one I'm sure I'll look into this advice.
 
Last frag swap walked in with 70.00 walked out with 6 mini acan colonies a 3 headed frog spawn and a 10 headed candy cane
