Your first large aquarium...

[oscaroo]

My first was a 6' 135gal. I worked it off at a pet store. Learned a lot and got a nice tank with sump. Through my learnings....I flooded my parents basement twice, learned how to replace floor trim and sheetrock!. I had 3 oscars and 3 severums in it with a 65gal sump.

I wish I was old enouf to work at a petstore so i could earn a tank.

My first big tank was also built before I was born, in 1970. It is made of 1/2" glass with no center braces.

Must be high quality to last 40+ years!

Anything 4+ 75 imo is a good start.
