So I’m In the process of getting my tank I got my stand, I was going to get a 36 gallon bow front. But that Really limited the kinds of fish I want. Then I said hmm 55g tank sounds Big. That more than a barrel of oil, but heck I’ll take the leap. I can do it. (48L x 18x something height). Then I looked at the dimensions for a 90g tank same just little taller and inch wider. Not much more expensive and now I want that. 90 gallons x 8 gallons a pound = 720 pounds + 100 pounds gravel = 820 + cool fish = 825lbs for a 1000 lbs rated stand.
I have never owned anything this big before. Biggest was like 30 gallons. My main question is.
1.Is upkeep going to be easier? Or harder
2. I will get adequate / overkill filtration.
3. It will open up a new world of fish I can keep, what are things that would be a nice show piece and I could build a community / multi species around.
4. What was y’alls experience with your first big ole tank.
