New tanks

[wwright]

So I currently have the option I getting a 125 gallon tank for 1000 dollars, with stand and canopy. It has a great setup with a 3d background, 2 heaters, lights, breeding pairs of Africans, all the chemicals, test kits and other stuff he had. It is filtered by 2 aquatop cf-500 uv's and an eheim pro canister. They have 300 dollars of bio home ultimate media in them. The other option is a 220 gallon tank with stand. New led lights, but it is filtered by a ten gallon sump. No decorations, no canisters, it had two heaters and some sand, oh and it is acrylic. It is 900 dollars. My budget was 1000 dollars. What are your opinions on which to get? I would love the 220 but I feel like I will have to spend a few hundred more for equipment.

Sounds like the 125g is the better deal to me, IMO. OS.

My thoughts would be 100 gal weekly wc or 60 gal weekly wc, oh boyy, either way that's a whole lot of watah! 125 sounds like a better deal.

For sure you need a python vaccum for maintenance... 100g is hard to transport in water bucks -.-

The 125 is a way better deal. It has about $600 of extras.
