Default My serious choice

Right now I have my money that is burning a hole in my pocket. I am wondering how can I upgrade my tank

Should I get a bigger tank?

Any suggestions

Buy the biggest tank you have money and a place for and use the 10G asa hospital tank for the big tank.

Didn't you already ask this? I voted for you to get a larger tank.

You advised me to get a bigger tank, so I'm retruning the favour!

Bigger tank! 10 gallons is too small, and you have much more fun with a bigger tank.

My favorite is black sand with white rocks. It looks stunning. But, I would definitely go for a bigger tank. That 55gal at Walmart is just begging.....

just for the record, I wouldn't buy the 55 kit at wal-mart. in fact I wouldn't buy any of the kits at wal-mart. the filters and heaters that come with them are, imo, junk. I'd get the tank, stand, hood and lights from wherever you can get them cheapest and then get the filters and heaters online. check out www.bigalsonline.com. you can get an aquaclear 500 powerfilter off of bigals for the same price you'd pay for a whisper 30-60 at wal-mart.

I have all 3 kits from walmart and they are great, in fact Aqua tech improved their filter so it has bio-fiber. They are good starters and you can always upgrade the filter if you have to. The heaters that come with are Whisper and hold the temp constant. I dont see any difference with their lights as really any other, they are florescent and provide enough light
