I have a 75 gallon tank right now. I was wondering is it worth it to get a bigger tank anywhere form 125-210gallons. Any thoughts other than a lot more work. But I figure I could get a lot bigger and cooler fish with a bigger tank. So maybe that would be worth the work. I don't know. How do you like your bigger tanks and would you suggest getting one?

I think that my bigger tanks are easier to maintain than the smaller ones that I had before. In a small tank you have to be very carefull about keeping the water params in check. A small change in a small tank can become a problem real fast. A small change in a large tank wont be as bad. The only thiong is instead of changing a few gallons of water a week, I change about 12 gallons a week. Other than that the maintenance is about the same.

just make sure the floor in your house can take the weight.
any tank over 125 may need some floor suports
good luck
