What is your biggest tank?

[qwertie]

my mum says that no one has a 30.025 (american gallon) tank, she says they are huge (theyre tiny really) I beg to differ, Please say what your biggest tank is so i can prove her wrong.

Mine are a pair of 275 US gallon tanks, and amongst people I know that have predatory fish, I am average-small, as many of them have 300-500 gallon tanks (and some have tanks even larger than that).....and most of the reefers I know have reef tanks of 200 gallons plus. I would suggest that average tank size in my city is probably 30-50 US gallons.

I have a 38 gallon that I bought to get back into this hobby. I enjoy smaller tanks for species specific/quarantine/misc reasons, but I doubt I'll purchase another community style tank smaller then my 38.

In the world of aquariums, bigger always seems better. I have (2) 125 gallon tanks and am wishing I went even larger.

My 58 gal has a footprint 3 feet wide and 18 inches deep. I consider it neither small, nor huge. It's in good proportion with my 11 x 18 livingroom. (I often wish I got a 75 gal, tho. )

No one should need anything bigger than a 30 gallon tank - and a 30.025 gallon tank is just plain "showing off".


(mine is a 125 gallon)

30 gallon long is my only tank - although my dad has two 55s that I'm sure I'll 'inherit' at some point in the next couple of years, as he's doing nothing with them currently.

Of course, convincing my wife that we have another 10 sqaure feet for the footprint (the stand is iron doublestacked) room for more fish would probably require moving into a larger home. : grin :

My biggest is a 110gal. tall.

My biggest is a 55 gallon. I also have a 5 gallon, 20 gallon, 29 gallon, and 35 gallon. I used to think 55 gallons was big but it looks small to me now! I can't wait til I get some more money (and floorspace) so I can get a 125 gallon or larger. 8)

Last month I went from a 20 gal that I had used for 5 years to a 75 gal tank. Now I already want an even bigger tank. lol

I started with a 30 Gallon tank and was quite happy with it....Until I picked up my 130 Gallon. The price for things increases exponentially with the more gallons you have. More fish, more chemicals, more substrate (gravel), more decorations, more filtering, more lighting....on and on and on. I couldn't imagine running a Reef aquarium in a tank larger than 30 Gallons because it would drain the bank! Reef aquariums tend to be much more costly than FW...But they are much more attractive and colorful...

Bottom line is, a 30 Gallon aquarium should be fine...and since you're not the one paying the bill, you should be happy with it until you can afford something bigger.

Started with a 20 gal, then later on bought a 75 gal on ebay. Oh, then got a 10 gal from a friend. Only thing I don't like about bigger tanks is longer maintenance time.

 

[Mazdaman]

started with a 2gal "betta-home".
two weeks later got a 20gal
one year later I have a 75gal and upgraded the "bett-home" to a 5gal just for him.

What is really interesting is one the tank is setup and filled it doesn't seem so big anymore. "Maybe a 5' or 6' would have looked good, Why don't we just buy it and find out?" lol
