    yeah that's all very true.. but I really like how clean the system looks. Even compared to other AIO's. Too bad they don't make a bigger one.

    First of all, welcome!

    I would do a little research into what kinds of fish interest you. For example, if you think you may want a tang, you will need quite a large system. If you want to go with a 29 gallon, you will be very limited as to what fish (and how many) you can have. And, as previously stated, if you want to upgrade later, you will have to start from scratch.

    For what it's worth, a 55g is a nice starter tank, as is a 75g. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some beautiful 29g tanks. But harder to maintain and less content than a larger tank. Just my 2 cents.

    Hello!!!

    How ya doin'? I started with a 110g because it fit perfectly under my stairwell. I actually framed everything under the stairwell around the tank. Made lots of mistakes, but here I am, still lovin' it.....and you will to.:)
