Default can someone help me
okay so firstly i want to apologize for not being on here as often as everyone. i'm really busy since i just recently got a job. anyways to my question...i have about a 15 gallon fish tank and i really really really want to get a bigger one...the only trouble is the money. and i've done some research but everywhere i look i have trouble deciding what would be better. should i just get a 30 gallon tank and just go with that or maybe could i go bigger. my price range is about 200-250 on all supplies with tank. no fish included in that 200-250. can anyone tell me what i could get with that much?

Alot of times mom and pop LFS and pet stores such as pet spermarket almost give tanks away. youll find tanks collecting dust in the back at small chain pet stores and make sure you complain about something and snag yourself an extra 20 - 30% Off! I went to PETCO and found a 60 Gal high tank for 179 and then found the same perfecto tank @ petsupermarket for 97.99! it was full of dust and dirt and not in any box so i made sure I said something and wound up taking the tank home for 80 even due to the fact that that was "All I had in my wallet"

Get the most out of YOUR hard earned money. Especially These days.
