Tank choice!

I have enough free space for either two 75 gallon tanks or one
265 that a friend is selling, dirt cheap. Which would you do?

I'd go for the big tank, deals like that will be far between.
Just be prepared for larger water changes, but should be a more
stable environment.

You can't past up a good deal for a big tank, you can put more
fish in the tank which is always a good thing. :)

Actually think I am going to pass on the 265. This thing has
had two owners and been resealed twice and still leaks. The 75s
are brand new and are under warranty.

also depends on what your keeping. If you plan to have some of
the larger haps, I would wait for a larger tank. IMO, the
largest fish you should keep in a 75 is maybe 6-8 inches. Im
guessing you would eventually upgrade to a larger tank like all
of us have done.

If I had gotten the 265 I was going to do a CA community. Since
that is not going to happen, I plan to do a Tanganyika community
in one of the 75's and I am not sure about the other yet. Any
ideas?
