i would look on craigislist for a used one often you can find them really cheap. the bigger the tank the more stable it is. also look into a python. it lets you suck the water out to a hose or sink then fill back up. makes water changes fast and easy. i can do my 120 in 30-45 mins and about 5 mins of work. just have to stop it sucking out flip the switch and fill back up. its super easy.

what temps do you face? having a fan blowing over the tank really cools it down also frozen powerade bottles.

the old gravel wont help at all.
