I have enough free space for either two 75 gallon tanks or one |
|
265 that a friend is selling, dirt cheap. Which would you do? |

I'd go for the big tank, deals like that will be far between. |
|
Just be prepared for larger water changes, but should be a more |
|
stable environment. |

You can't past up a good deal for a big tank, you can put more |
|
fish in the tank which is always a good thing. :) |

Actually think I am going to pass on the 265. This thing has |
|
had two owners and been resealed twice and still leaks. The 75s |
|
are brand new and are under warranty. |

|
also depends on what your keeping. If you plan to have some of |
|
the larger haps, I would wait for a larger tank. IMO, the |
|
largest fish you should keep in a 75 is maybe 6-8 inches. Im |
|
guessing you would eventually upgrade to a larger tank like all |
|
of us have done. |

If I had gotten the 265 I was going to do a CA community. Since |
|
that is not going to happen, I plan to do a Tanganyika community |
|
in one of the 75's and I am not sure about the other yet. Any |
|
ideas? |
