| Re: New at this, which tank to consider? WELL, THE REASON I AM CONSIDERING A CYLINDER TANK IS BECAUSE IT IS AT THE CORNER WHERE MY DINNING, LIVING AND FOYER MEET. THERE WAS SUPPOSE TO A BIG DECRATIVE COLUMN THERE. BUT THAT COLUMN IS FOR LOOK PURPOSE ONLY AND NOT TO SUPPORT ANY PART OF THE HOUSE, SO I THOUGH IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE FISH TANK THERE. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW BIG I CAN GO, I DON'T WANT TO GET A TANK THAT IS TOO SMALL IN DIAMETER AND I CANT HAVE ANY FISH.  |

| Re: New at this, which tank to consider? Cylinder aquariums are much harder to maintain/clean/feed and generally more expensive.

| Re: New at this, which tank to consider? If you can afford one, a cylinder tank would be very cool. You can stock more fish b/c the just keep swimming round and round. Not to mention being able to see your tank in every angle ! |

| Re: New at this, which tank to consider? You may want to consider an in wall rectangular tank. They look much better in my opinion than the ones that free stand in the room. Plus if you can find a space to put a nonstructural wall that has a little room behind it for maintence it gets all the maintence uglys (skimmer, change water, test kits, ect...) out of sight. |
