Hi guys I hope this is the right forum if not sorry I move it.
I have a aquarium now and it's located in my room and I love it. I had a fish tank when i was younger and it also housed tropical fresh water fish ,however this is my first real larger aquarium and I have had it roughly 4-5 years and it's doing really well. I'm looking at larger aquariums and am tempted to upgrade , not sure on size yet .
I am really just looking for any tips or stories you may of had if you have upgraded. Is it easier to maintain a bigger tank? Would it be best to look at brand new or used tanks? I have found some used and apart from a scratch is great and not to mention cheaper ,plus my tank I have now was used , I was just unsure if I got lucky with mine as it was in perfect condition when I got it and knew I wouldn't have to worry about its history or faults as we got it from a trusted friend.
Thanks and sorry for the paragraph :)

Hmm, that's a really tricky question. I tend to go with Lionel Messi and Bendtner as strikers, but anything could work really. Just try and you'll find what your looking for. I'm glad to help

Bigger tanks are indeed easier to care for. The larger amount of water limits fast swings in parameters :)

Buying a used tank can be a risk, you can ask the seller to have it filled with water when you arrive, so you can see that it is water tight, but there is still no guarantee. Just moving a larger tank can cause leaks to appear if it is moved slightly wrong :)
