what would you rather have...

[jb-ny]

comes with a fluval fx5 minimal use and another fluval (301 or 401) heaters. not sure about stand/canopy but I most likely would build my own stand and not use a canopy. comes with lighting that i would upgrade or modify depending on the fish kept.

i tend to agree on the 360. my only reservation is maintence.

Is the acrylic scratched all to hell? I've seen great deals like this that suddenly sour when you examine the tank.

As long as in the tank is in good condition or might need some elbow grease, I say go for it. If it is scratched beyond what you want to repair, IMO I would go with the smaller set-ups or save for a brand new/better looking Monster Tank.

I'd go for the bigger one. bigger tank = more options and you can always save up here and there and find good deals on 150 gallon or smaller
