Upgrade tend not to happen. If I wanted a 65 gal tank, I just get a 65 gal tank. That would be the cheapest. There is no need to get a 10 or 20 gal, then upgrade to a 65 gal in 3-6 month, or a year.
If there is any restriction from whatever cause, cost, space, inability to take care of larger tank and ...,... the restriction will, in almost all case, will continue to be there in 3,6 or 12 months. Because of this reason, planned upgrade almost never happened.Each of us know our own situation. I never start a tank, then plan to upgrade in less than 2 years. All the tanks I started are permanent except 1. I did set up one of my 20 gal tank at my son's second grade class. This tank was up for 9 months. Start at the begin of the year, and got taken down at the end of the year. My son and I manage the tank ourselves. I only require the teacher who cleared it with the Principal to leave the air conditioner to the class on 24/7. All of this was planned when I first set up the tank.
We had a pair of Onyx Percula, and ultra Crocea and a small Gigantea in it. It was a beautiful set up, was the talk of the school for a long time.
I agree, if an upgrade is on the cards why not wait for the upgrade if it’s only a short while away. Chances are it’s not.
