Fish Tank Recomedations

[dave1.]

Hi everyone, i'm new on the site but i'm after some advice please. My son (12 year old) has a small (approx 35 litre)

tank at the moment and has asked for a larger one for chrismas. After looking around the Aqua one 620T seems to look

nice and is quite large whilst not taking up too much room. It looks like you can get them 2nd hand for below £140.00

with a stand and full set up it's just that none are close to where I live at the moment. Would you say this tank is

a decent tank or should i avoid them? Also is it safe to have larger tanks upstairs? Thank you for your help. Dave

Welcome to the forum mate. Try posting in the tropical discussion section or the new freshwater tank section, you will get better responses as this is the for sale section.

Also just to add, i would recommend the 90 litre 620 over the T version as the extra volume isn't really useable due to lack of length.

Also consider something like the Fluval Roma 125. A nice sized aquarium and will give you more scope for fish and scapes due to the 31" tank length.

A tank of 125 ltr will not cause a problem upstairs, unless you can poke a hole in your ceiling joists with your finger. I'm sure your bath holds more than 125ltr, presuming your bathroom is upstairs.
I'd go for a bigger tank myself. More stocking options and you can usually pick up a bigger second hand tank for cheap.

The other option would be a juwel lido 120(2 foot tank) or juwel rio 125(31 ish inch if i remember correctly) both look superb and would recommended over aqua one anyday.... but that is just personal preference.
