Going bigger

[wrasser]

OK, I have this chance to get a 300 gal. acrylic tank for &750.00. The question to ask is... ... will a 300 gal tank be worth moving into from a 150 gal. tank.
I know that answer is yes, the problem that I am thinking is the fish in my 150 are even to much for a 300 gal. I mean volume wise yes BUT what about distance or territory wise?
Should i save and go even long than 8 feet?

I have in the 150gal. tank
purple tang, harlequin tusk
blue hippo tang, dragon wrasse
sailfin tang, red coris wrasse
bi-color angle (darwf), formosa coris wrasse
coral beauty (darwf), chiseltooth wrasse
bi-color blenny, yellow wrasse
queen blenny, six line wrasse
bullet goby, cardinal
neon golby, blue face trigger
pinktail trigger, odomus trigger
clown trigger, 1 turbo snail/a few blue legs
I think that is about it
thanks for the time

Sounds like you need two tanks with some of those fish youve got, eventually the clown will take out pretty much everything I would think (at least the other triggers). I'd make the 150 his home as well as maybe a wrasse or two, and the purple tang. If you can't keep the two tanks I'd definately wait to get something bigger and for a slightly better price (assuming the 750 dollars is for tank only or tank and stand used).

I think that your tank's being too small for those fish is the only thing keeping them from killing each other. Given a little more room, they might decide that there is enough territory to fight over after all. I gotta agree with Fishfirst; why just upgrade if you can instead run 2 tanks? Yeah, I know...but isn't there always room for just one more tank?
