Ive decided I will get a bigger tank I'm sure I will be in good hands here if I need a bit of help setting it up



Theres not much locally but if I travel a bit there's loads on e-bay.
ive narrowed my search down to these 4 tanks.
Can anyone tell me which in their opinion is the best set-up and give me some clue to what they are worth? thanks






this is my favourite but I have NO IDEA what I should be paying. Seller has asked me to make him an offer??


ANYONE?

The first tank is a Jewel 240 liters (65USgal) tank. This is the fanciest of them all and also the one with less flexibility for upgrading its systems with other than manufacturer options (e.g. lighting, filtration). It comes with no stand. I personally like them although I don't own one.

The second tank is the longest of all, even if other dimensions than its length aren't provided I figure it to be a 48"L x 18"W x 20"H which would mean 284 liters (75USgal). Look at its nice lighting system [replacing the blue (actinic) lamp for Freshwater won't cost much] and consider if paying for a stand would make sense to you. This is the one I would purchase for most tropical fish settings if you have the room for it. The most flexible tank of the four options listed, in my opinion.

The third tank has probably 8 liters (2 USgal) more of water volume than the second but its shorter in length and way too tall (28.5"H) and that makes it very hard to reach the substrate while doing maintenance. It comes with pretty good hardwood stand (teak). I would choose this one for either nice Reef tank or seven Discus school. Ideal for tall plants.

The fourth tank is barely a 151 Litres (40USgal) tank. It's quite limited in volume and has the least length of the four offered. Good for limited space situations and adequate for a small Reef with Clown fishes. The least flexible of the four options.

I agree with tank #2. If you read the description of #3 it states there is a small chip in the glass. I would only take a tank like that for free!
