55 Gallon to 90 G tank owners :

What size tank did you have before switching to something bigger ?


Similar question to the bigger tank owners :

To those who have 100+ gallon tanks.. what size tank did you previously have before moving on to the "big one" ?

All I can say is..

Before:

2 tier 3 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet tank.

After:

6 x 2.5 x 2.5 feet tank with 4 feet sump filtration.

Big leaps! .. can you tell us WHY???

 

[piranha45]

because i like predatory fish communities, and predatory fish need big tanks. I also stand by the philosophy that bigger tanks are better tanks. I would have preferred a 240g, but there was not one for sale that I wouldn't have to pay double the reasonable price for, which was well beyond my limited budget at the time.


some day, be it 4 years or 24 years from now depending on which career i settle on, I will invest in a 1,000g+ tank

Not married and staying with parents.

After:
Married and staying on my own!

. . remember having conflicts with my mother over keeping 3 tanks in my room when i was in high school and staying at their place.

I wanted to go all out when i was in college but then reality struck and i was dead broke at that time. I was happy with a 75G.

i went from a 75 to a 180 then to a 2000g.
