Certainly some things to think about. I'm definitely going with at least a 50 gallon aluminum.
Its tough to open the wallet and dish out over $400 for new custom built tank.....I just cant do it!
I would have done a back flip for $400. Mine was $475, plus shipping. 55 gallon, $750 Total. $750 is what I was quoted locally and they couldn't tell me who was making it for them, so I went with a member's recommendation.
The payment was tough, but I'm confident in the product, and that is a HUGE weight off my shoulders, paid for over time, with overtime.
