Hello everyone

I currently have a 180, 125, 55 x6, 40 breeder and a ton of smaller tanks. I'm considering getting a few more mid size tanks, but I'm not sure which ones to get. I'm going to purchase 2 tanks and build a double stack stand. I have a bunch of AC110s new in the box for filteration, so I wont be needing overflows. Here are my options, so please tell me what you think.

2 x 125 $660
2 x 100 $550
2 x 75 $230

I'm really liking the price on the two 75s :)

:iagree:
go with whatever you have the $$ for so hopefully you wont have to upgrade later if you dont want to

I'm not sure why, but wife always says this too. I keep telling her quality over quantity.:naughty:
 
I have the money for either. I'm just a bit worried that if I lose interest down the road I may be stuck with a ton of tanks. The fish lover in me says bigger is better, but the budget minded person is saying I can get 6 75s for the same price as 2 x 125s.
 
what kind of fish are you wanting to put in the new tanks?

Lol honestly not sure. It depends on what I see on aquabid. I'm your typical American glutton. I want want want. Maybe barred midas, amarillo or a breindohri.
 
Go with the 75s. Unless you're going to need 125g tanks for larger fish, 6 75s beats the pair of 125s. (Assuming no additional filtration cost since you have the AC 110s on hand.)
