I am just curious when you setup your aquariums how many of you spent more time agonizing over what Filters, Lights, Heaters, etc. to buy than your last car purchase?:idea:
 
for my 180G, spent WAY more time thinking about filters & heaters than last truck. however, already knew I was upgrading truck from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton for pulling trailer- and from stick shift to auto trans due to nerve pain in my clutch leg ;-) and stuck with Dodge Ram.
 
FILTERS always.... lighting can be changed at will without affecting a healthy fish(cichlids)... but you cant fix a dead fish (after a tank crash)....:popcorn: heaters aren't as important here in az. ...BUT can be crucial elsewhere
 
i spent a lot of time figuring out filtration. searching online...comparing...then pricing. probably a month or two on filtration alone. with my last couple of car purchases i had an idea of what i was looking for and test drove something at the dealership and the rest is history. fish are way more important than transportation :)
 
When I eliminated the stock filter and light on my flual chi. Due to its size there are a limited number of options. Depending on your budget bigger tanks are easy, just hit up some online retailers and read reviews.
 
I spent about 4 months designing and redesigning my 300 gallon. I spent about 4 hours picking out and building my car online. Input the price I wanted to pay, went to the dealership, haggled for about 20 minutes and was done.

Sump took the most research and designing by far, but I knew exactly what I wanted and put in the time to get it that way. The beauty though is when you build a tank from scratch and have to wait for it to be built and delivered, all you have is time....
