I have been looking at other people's tanks and I think I want a bigger one.
How many gallons and litres is best for a reasonable price

Check out sites like eBay- my 6x2ft cost me $269AUD compared to the $650AUD I was quoted brand new. Best idea is to go as big as you can space-wise, and save until you can afford the tank you want, or you end up spending far more in the long-run.
Can't wait to see pics!

I just got a 3ft tank plus stand on gum tree for £70 - Bargain! They're really cheap and can save hundreds of pounds if you consider getting one second hand :)

You can also see if there are people who custom-build aquariums if you have a space and want an unusual size.

One person I asked quoted me $165 for a 48" x 14" x 14". There is another person that will be building my 60" x 15" x 15" for me, and supposedly he charges ~60 less than the other for a 55 gal (away on vacation so can't get price quote), so I'll probably be paying $150 for that.
