Im in debate to go with either a New 135 gallon glass or a Used 180 acrylic tank...
OK to debates here...any big difference from a 135 to a 180 besides the 45 gallon difference? I know that water changes are more but it is also less frequent, since its a bigger tank, right?
I know that my fishes will be better off in a 180 but any other unforseen maintaince issues or equipment issues?
the other is glass or acrylic...i know its been debated over and over, but what do you guys think?
thanks!
 
i and most people in this forum will say go bigger.. sure you have to change out a few extra gallons of water .. big deal... i have a custom 300 gallon 98x30x26.. i wish i had gone bigger now but it is too late

I would go bigger. I have a 200gal now. After moving to my new house, I am planning on between a 1000 or 2000gal. I will use glass for my tanks.
 
What are the dimensions?

I assume the 135 (like mine) is 72x18x24 and the 180 is 72x24x24???

If thats true, I would probably take the 180.
