Mega Matrix 120

Mega Matrix 120 Build by Planet Aquariums

In this new series we dive into everyone's favorite topic - Upgrades! Now that you've gotten your feet wet with the help of our Budget Build Series, we move forward by upgrading our second saltwater tank. We'll take what we learned from the first and apply it to the Mega Matrix 120 from Planet Aquariums, explaining why a tank six times larger than our first is what we went for and which features helped us make our choice.
