Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Context: I'm looking for my very first aquarium to buy.
I've been looking around a fair bit and while there is a lot of advice about all the stuff you can put INTO the tank, I'm struggling to find anything about buying the actual tank.
I've observed some huge price differences in tanks of very similar sizes and I'm quite curious why this is. I know the OpticWhite (spelling?) glass is generally quite a bit more expensive but are there other things that factor into this cost?
Besides that, I really don't want to buy an aquarium that comes with a stand since we want something that is bigger than just the aquarium.
Additionally, does anybody have any suggestions for (online) shops to buy aquarium supplies in the Netherlands/Europe? There are some local fish stores where I intend to buy my fish, but they don't really stock aquariums.
Cheers!
