You should not feel that way. In life, there will always be someone with a bigger, better, faster, more expensive tank, car, boat, whatever, with more bells and whistles than you have. My dream tank and fish room is a 4,000 gallon in wall system that is incredible. I look at the picture of this gorgeous tank/fish room for inspiration. I am not going to be down that my tank is so much smaller. I look at peoples beautiful planted tanks and the tanks with colorful fish, and tanks that are beautifully decorated and landscaped. I admire and appreciate the beauty of everyone's tanks. I cannot have a planted tank or a decorated tank because my demolition crew is injury prone. While my fish aren't colorful, I will continue to love their perpetual grins and their jovial dispositions. I will take great joy in watching them accelerate and swim almost twice the distance they have now before they have to turn around.

When I see pictures of other peoples tanks, I will be happy that their tanks are so beautiful and that the fish are so loved and cared for. Size does not matter. "bigger is better" is an infantile concept....that's the little kid who chooses the penny over the dime because the penny is bigger. It's what you do with what you have that really matters. we are trying to be responsible fishkeepers, doing our best to provide suitable housing for our fish.

Amen. You said it very well. I'm in the process of building my "dream tank", which is a mere 150g but will house my beloved Midas and give him much more room than I've been able to give any fish before. It might not be considered a monster tank by many people, but I eat/sleep/drink this tank at the moment so that is all that matters. :)

And your pacu are going to be happy, happy fish!
 
This thread is not fair to the 180g owners! Were only 20g shy or just a few inches shorter than the 220s! Haha, just kidding. Nice thread and great tanks.
