ronan45

Hi my OH purchased me a 90 l tank today. I had been thinking of getting something bigger. It was 250 including a stand. They wont deliver for a few days should i ring them tommorow and go another size up what ya think lads and ladettes? I can add on a few sheckles do yas think its worth spending a tad more or is 90 l big enough. tropical fish set up

Get the biggest you can afford. You will regret it other wise. Alsomlook second hand. You can get big tanks for that money

when you start mate keeping fish, 90l or even 120l will seem huge but honestly its not, you'll regret after a few months not going bigger. great advice above to look second hand. thats what id do. believe it or not, the bigger the easier it is to keep the water at the correct parameters for fish. id go for a nice 200l or 4ft tank, but if you can afford bigger and fit it, go crazy!!

I've an old 90 (for various reason), since the day I set it up I've wanted bigger...

The bigger the tank the more stable the water conditions and temp, the more you can put in it to enjoy and the more time you have to react it something does start to go wrong.

he didnt have a 125 in stock so i told her to just get the 90 darn it. Oh well im just a starter. the next one up didnt have a free stand either so the cost was start to double. thanks for feedback. never had fish before looking forward to this. Delivery on friday. I was thinking Sunk WW2 destroyer set up. then thought it was a bit limited so now thinking Old Roman sunken temple type thing
thanks for advice

Hey I was in petstop in airside today looking at this tank, it was 250 euro but had no mention of a free stand (that cost 110 euro). Just wondering which one you got that deal in?
Thanks

Tanks are kinda like chocolate kimberly biscuits, you never stop at just one of the blasted things.

I've 3 now and I'm eyeing up a 500L tank at the moment, after starting with a 110L tank.

in all fairness no matter what size tank you get you always want bigger

norrie rugger

I have a 180L Jewel Rio and from the second month I wished that I bought larger

It is a good size for the apartment but it is so full, that I can not really add much more to it (be it plants/rocks/fish)

Get as big as you can
