GF first tank

[StanM3]

So I recently purchased my first home in December. Previously rented and also owned a 75 and 150 aggressive fish only tank. Got my gf feet wet with a small tank and she loves it. I am going to get at least a 225 or
Bigger for living room. Any suggestions. Saw some locally on OfferUp and such.
THANKS!

bigger you go the easier sw is. Personally for a newbie i wouldn't go less then 75. 125 us even better

My suggestion would be to go as big as you can handle moving and afford to fill with water lol. 220 with a 50+ gallon sump gives you pretty substantial bioload potential.

Definitely go big!! With a good size sump to, just be sure not to overstock the tank!!!

For me, aquariums multiply like bunnies. If I were to plan my tank size around my stocking ambitions, id literally have to move into the dang ocean.
