Buying New 75g Tank

[peacockbass]

Hey everyone!
So I found someone in my area on LetGo selling a brand new 75 gallon aquarium with the stand for just $200. I really am thinking about purchasing it and upgrading from my 29 gallon to this. I would love to have both of them but although I will be using my own money for this, my parents would simply not let me have 2 tanks in the house with their sizes. If anyone here has had something close to my situation with upgrading by this much...what would you say are the biggest and possibly the hardest things about having a 75 gallon compared to a 29g. I would love to here about what you all do to keep it simple but always running well. I am always doing my research on what I would have to focus on but I just thought I might as well ask all of you too! Thank you so much!

Hello,
I recently have a 75 gallon and I would say one of the most important investments for my tank set up was a good stand. You have to take in consideration the water weight plus additional gravel/decor weight, so a sturdy stand is a necessity because you wouldn’t want a leak. The Python Cleaner is a life saver because it makes maintenance a breeze. Oh and for lots of gravel for a cheaper price just go to Home Depot or whatever your local hardware store is.

Ok thank you so much! I will definitely keep that in mind

Hey! I just upgraded from a 20 gallon long to a 65 gallon and I love having the bigger tank. The only downfall for me is water changes are a little harder only because our nearest water source is downstairs
