Move it. They are really cranky about where they sit. I had to move mine a dozen times, then all at once it took off. It's the size of a soccer ball now.

I would sell the 55 to offset the cost of the 300.

 

[Gregcoyote]

Bigger is always better with reefs in my opinion, things happen slower. But the cost goes WAY up to operate it long term. My latest reef has been running almost 20 years...I shudder to add up what it has cost in electricity, parts, salt, food, etc. And that doesn't touch the fish and coral a big tank can support. But if you love the hobby, a big reef is a heart stopper.

OK so I am going to go with the 300 but the wife is not happy about it lol

This is it but he now has straps around it because he had a Guy put in a tunze wave box and he had it blowing right on to the front glass and it broke the glue at the top brace but it is fixable
