So I'm getting completely addicted to this hobby again and already planning my next tank which I want to go much bigger probably around 900 x 450 x 450 approx. To do this I'm going to have to make some alterations to the living room to make space i.e. ripping out some inbuilt cupboard space etc. I'm contemplating building the cabinet myself and getting a tank only.

I know this is a very vague question but what tanks do you all buy and which ones do you avoid? I like the look of the Oase Scaperline but Oase always feel over priced as do ADA, UNS etc.

TIA

I have looked at these and they seem reasonably priced compared to the brands I mentioned!

I suggest getting your last will and testament written first before you begin. ::thumbu::

I tend to find a wife's blessing is the bare minimum before any undertaking unless you're prepared to never hear the end of it :)
