So I have read here many times... People wanting another tank or a bigger tank or both. Well I guess I fall into the later category. So before I start spending money I figure I would ask some questions here! I currently have a 35 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. It has been running for 4 months and I do 15% water changes every week.
That said I am thinking on getting another tank. I am looking at getting 180 gallon tank that someone is looking to get rid of because they are moving and they are looking to sell it for $300. Now I have been doing a lot of reading because I know the larger tank is way more maintenance. Most of the tread I have seen, people live in houses... Not NYC apartments. That being said, I have several questions.
Does anyone have experience setting up larger tanks in a smaller space? Anyone have some good links that I can read about setting up a tank with plumbing and automation, also any comments on maintenance? Right now I just make the RO/DI water in 5gallon buckets. I know that is defiantly not practical for me doing water changes larger than 20 or so gallons.
Any comments or advise I would love to hear.
