OK I've pratically already decided what size of tank I want, but as this is my FP family I want ya'll's thoughts also, so here we go...

In the left corner we have: a 125 gallon tank (72 x 18 x 22), with solid wood stand, tank, lighting, and canopy. For $400.

In the right corner we have: a 55 gallon tank (48 x 13 x 20), with solid wood stand, tank, lighting, and canopy for $200.

So which one should I get? Either choice they will do the basic setting up for me for only $30 so it isn't a matter of whether I can move it I've got the money, so which will it be...Left Corner 125 gallon, or Right Corner 55 gallon??? Help me decide...

Go for the 125! If you aren't going to go big, don't bother at all! Think of the glorious things you could do with a tank that size. After you turn it into a magnificent tank, send me pics so I can live vicariously through you and your 125. LOL!

Then I would contribute some koi angelfish, so I could live vicariously through Heidi's big tank.

Angelfish ...yes

Guppies ... no

Go with a 120 instead of a 125. Sure, it five gallons smaller, but it has much better dimensions.

If you can afford the bigger one than go with it!

Cory Addict, what dimensions are you talking?
I have a tank around the 120g mark (cant be bothered working it out again) and its 4ftx2x2. Its a great sized tank!

the 120 dimensions might be better, but it's not an option. The store is one of those "small mom and pop" lfs. The only other option I think was a 75, but didn't get the price...and I figure 55 or 125 anyways...sorry...otherwise, so far it sounds like the 125 has it...anyone else?

I have another post in General FreshWater to help me stock it, if anyone cares to reply, I basically just went through to see what caught my eye, and didn't pay attention to what is compatible, and some of these fish will be new to me...Decisions,Decisions,Decisions...Tanks all Heidi
