k, thanks a lot for the replies! ill try to aim for a 180...125 is very affordable but like some have said, once i get the 125 ill wish i had gone 180. im looking at pending about 500 dollars for the tank and stand. ill be having 2 75g HOB's and a fluval fx5 with 10-20% daily water changes. i just love the fact of having mosnter fish to show to friends and family. im stoked about getting this jag. hes already got a purple tint to his background color.
