Ha, no, I want a bigger tank. Ion the tank piece petco just ended the $1 gal sale and the one by me had aqueon 90s on sale for $199. The only tempered panel was the bottom. They usually run that sale once a quarter.
I used one and it was more than enough. I had everything balanced though. If the drain plugged the sump wouldn’t overflow. The return chamber also couldn’t overflow the tank. I had it tilted (there’s adjustment knobs) so the side with the siphon nipple was just a tad higher so any air bubbles that wound up in there got sucked out through the lifter. It also came with a plastic mesh that covers the top and grate of the intake and kept out anything bigger than a nail head. I never had anything clog the pump.
To be honest, I wouldn’t upgrade anything above 75. With a tank that big you would probably need a sump, and the equipment since larger would be more expensive. It would be way to much money. Also heavy tanks require a good stand. A 90 gallon would require a very good quality and expensive stand. If money isn’t really an issue then I guess you could go for it, but if ur on a budget, I wouldn’t.
The dollar per gallon sale I think sells a maximum of 29 gallons.anything more than that you would have to pay full price
My wife finds crazy deals on there. Downside: need to be on Facebook. There was a guy where I am a few weeks ago that got rid of all his stuff for free on Craigslist . He was running everything from 20 gal to 125s.
2x4s are cheap and building a solid box to support a tank, even if all you have are hand tools, takes about an hour to slap together if you don’t care about skinning it so it looks like a piece of furniture.
