Just an FYI, there is a 100 gallon tank and stand on craigslist for 75 bucks. Says good condition. Just a thought! lol

But I thought the reason we went to work was so that we could afford bigger tanks and better filtration and awesome fish?

Ain't that the truth? It's the reason I no longer buy new clothes and go out to eat. :)

I also agree on the used tanks. I wouldn't buy a used tank unless I knew the people that had it and had seen water in it. Tanks that have been left in a garage in storage could have had the seals all dried out, motor oil kept in it......who knows.

The reason why im going to work is so that i can save up and buy a house so that way i can buy a fish tank for every room. So for now ill just use my bonus.

i will use the money that i get from work to hopefully dedicate a room to fishtanks. My have to be downstairs because of the weight and all on a floor upstairs.

Well first of all im working full time, My girlfriend isnt high maintence, I have a car, and dont to anything exept hang out with my girl friend and/ or watch and car for my fish.... Im willing to get what i want for a tank. But I told my mom and dad that im going to get a new one and according to there reactions i dont think they want me to get too big of a tank. And considering there letting me live at there house for free ill abide to them. I mentioned a 60 gallon i saw at a store for $100 and dad said are you going to get one that big. But he is just worried that im going to spend all of this money and then loose interest in keeping fish.

And since we all know that could never happen i may look into one close to there. I also saw a 40 gallon in there and i kind of liked that one. I also decided that I am going to get one sooner than what i thought at first. I've been thinking and even if i dont put fish in it right at first It might be better to slowly build it up anyways. like get the tank first then slowly add stuff to it filter stones heater exe, untill i have everything exept fish. That way im not putting a huge hole in my pocket right away.

All in all im going to look in stores, look on this craig website your talking about and look in the paper and if i see something i want ill look into it and maybe go for it. I cant wait till I have another tank although right now im trying to stay focused on the tank that I have, and building it up.

Mate you really have your head screwed on right, with a personality and an attitude like you have, you will go far.

Wish I was a self disiplened as you are when I was your age.

On tank size, I would agree with most, go as big as you can afford to buy and upkeep.
