So the wife approved the idea of me doing another tank when we get buy a house, I'm talking a year or two down the road but my wheels are turning already. I just have a couple questions.
I have a $2k budget on this tank. I'm stuck between new or huge. My moms bf would just love to build me a plywood tank the length of a living room wall, I'm not sure what that costs, and the idea of water changes on a mostly stocked 12x3 gives me chills. Probably water changes alone have me just wanting to buy a new drilled 180 for $900 and call it a day. The extra foot of a 265 is another $1000 so that's not an option for new. Thoughts?
This will also be my first sump, I have a 55 that will be the sump for the 180, I have no plan for the potential plywood build or larger used tank. I've done a ton of sump reading the past few days and I think for the most part I understand it all.
