Hello all,
I've been reading for months and learning all I can before the big jump. When we, my wife also, went to the LFS and got a quote, we had planned a certain amount of money to spend. Now that I've been doing my homework, I realize that there's a whole lot more out there than a 90 or a 120.
Everyone says start as big as you can afford, but is there a "too big" for a first tank? I've costed everything I can possibly think of and then added 15% and I come out about 1000 less than the quote we were planning on, so I'm thinking about going with a 240 gallon cube to start with.
As far as fish go, is a 240 cube not such a hot "fish" tank? Would a 240 long be better/worse? Our first interest is the fish in the tank. For example, a blue throat trigger.
Thanks for everything,
Elvis
