Snelly40 · 07-20-2006, 07:10 PM

as big as you can

Splendid · 07-20-2006, 07:14 PM

How big should that be?(call me lula)

Snelly40 · 07-20-2006, 07:15 PM

well u mentioned a 90 and a 125?
either one is good, the bigger the earier to maintain water levels and paramaters

Splendid · 07-20-2006, 07:20 PM

true that i have 2 tanks but i am not sure if they are good sizes(95 g 110 g)call me lula okay???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snelly40 · 07-20-2006, 07:23 PM

either works, the'yre not that much different, lula !

With this hobby I find I always want a bigger tank so go with as big as you can fit and afford. Also as mentioned it is easier to keep your water in line with more water to work with. Someone has a sig line of Dilution is the solution to polution and it is very true. A larger tank can withstand minor problems that would crash a smaller tank.
Either one would be great, but if you have the choice I would go with the 125. It is after all what I have. Grin
Of course now I want a 200+ so what do you do. LOL

Stalwart · 07-21-2006, 12:22 AM

You go buy the 200+, and I come take the 125 off your hands

lcstorc · 07-21-2006, 05:49 AM

LOL! Actually I have a grand plan where the new tank goes in the wall in the living room as a reef and I keep the 125 as fowlr. Plus get a 90 ir so for my seahorses.
I dream big.
We will see what I end up with. It may change a bit since I have a friend getting rid of his 125 and I just may get that for the ponies. Think a 125 would make them happy? LOL They are in a 24 now. Talk about upgrade. Grin.
Glad I was unaware how addicting this is before I started.

warning: though seemingly innocent at first glance...the popular phrase ''as big as you can afford'' can actually be very ...very dangerous.
