Ai, I knew this was going to happen, I just didn't know it would happen so quickly.

I want a bigger tank, 4/5/or 6ft.
The problem is that I dont have enough space for two tanks...
Sooo, should I get rid of the 3ft and transfer everything into a bigger tank or should I just keep the 3ft and hope the lust for a bigger tank goes away?

Just so you guys know, this is all Laure and Slagters fault, damn their tanks are just so beautiful!:eek:

Opinions?

Here's some more of the current tank.

Go for the bigger tank – why not – submit to your urge to spend that money. And I would like to buy the 3ft from you. At a bargain price.
How much would you want for the 3ft - including canopy and lights.

Man - you are way down there in PE. Won't be worth shipping a 3ft all the way to Pta. Scrap the idea, stick with what you have got - lol

LOL, I have a buyer for the tank with the cabinet. Now just to find a larger tank at a reasonable price...

lol, i want a bigger tank (higher actually) or just a higher stand, cause i have to sit down to enjoy the view inside top to bottom. luckily i'm still happy with the tank being a 3ft. will figure out a bigger tank later when i actually dont have to scrounge around for smallchange...

If you can afford it, go bigger, if possible, keep the 3ft as well, always nice to have different scapes and fish to look at, do 2 different biotopes etc

I would love to keep the 3ft, but there is simply no space, I have to choose, either keep the 3ft or get a beeeg tank.

I'm leaning towards the big tank. Just not looking forward to the move, always a messy job.

LOL, that could get complicated, maybe I should keep the 3ft and use it as a sump?

that would be ideal, go for a 6ft
Donny

no have a 1.2 then the 3ft underneath it :) ...a nice community tank and a grow out tank for your plant off cuts and babies

I'd keep the 3ft. You never know what happens.

PS: I accept ZERO responsibility for your MTS!! :P

What price could I get for my 3ft with the stand, gravel and all the other equipment.

Phoned around now and I can get a 6ft including the sump and cabinet for a really good price...

It would probably not be worth your while to get rid of the 3ft dude... I just bought a 5ft tank with stand and canopy for R500...

Yeah why am I getting blamed? :p

If you get the 6ft you'll need more plants!

LOL, that tank of yours is awe-inspiring! Sort-of "love at first sight".
And I'm leaning towards Angels or Discus, hence the need for a bigger tank.:p

I LOVE it when I see another MTS sufferer! It makes the rest of us seem 'normal' :D Keep the 3ft, and rack 'em and stack 'em.....the ceiling is the limit! :D
