so i have two choices guys for my living room tank, right now i have an oceanic systems 56g bow front tank, fish only, hob filter, hydor slim skim, led lighting, hydor 425 powerheads, etc and ive been presented with 2 option for an upgrade,
the first is a 55g tank, "starter kit" which i can sell all the "starter" stuff to a buddy thats wants cheap equipment, and keep the tank and stand, ive talked him down to $150 for tank, stand, and all accessories, which is a good deal for me because i get to keep all my equipment and i dont need to add anything like more sand or live rock, plus its got room for a 20g long DIY sump if i wanted to go reef with it later.
55gall fresh water tank Acuario
the second is a 60g tank with overflow, stand, and canopy, and a 15g basic wet/dry sump, no skimmer, no return pump, nothing else. ive also talked him down to $150, but the thing that gets me is stand/tank/canopy altogether is only 4ft tall, which is a turn off for me because i dont want people looking down at my tank, i want it at least chest height like my current tank is.
220 gallon salt water reef aquarium
so with all that said, what do you guys think, i wanna keep my fish only setup and equipment, but i eventually wanna go reef for my livingroom, but im totally unprepared right now for one, what say you guys ay?
