As title says really. I've narrowed my new tank down to these two, but I'm stuck now.
Each has pros and cons to me, for example:
190 - Looks great, will fit ideally in my dining room, T5 lighting, no filter piping over back of tank, greater 'depth' throughout the tank, i.e. front to back, rather than lengthways. BUT - That filter system seems to scare me somewhat (Anyone with this tank fancy filling in on exactly how it fits together, leakage chances etc?), and it has less volume and bottom surface area, if my Math is correct.
240 - Cheaper, more volume, larger surface area, easier to clean. BUT - Standard lighting, and over-the-back filter (I don't plan to have backing on, which would make the pipes visible).
Does anyone have any examples of better reasons why I should go for either, or is it entirely down to personal taste on my part now?
Sorry if this seems like a bit of a waste of a thread but I keep changing my mind over this.
P.S. - I intend to be growing plants, so the T5 lighting swing me towards the 190, but even then...
Sorry if this has just been a waste of time, but thanks anyway!
