    Actually, the bigger planted tanks are more stable. As larger volume of water gives you bigger margins for error when it comes to fertiliser dosing.

    I think it's more like dream tanksss if space permits. I believe alot of us start off the hobby having a small tank which later progress to bigger and bigger and bigger. Either that or start off with 1 tank which leads to 2 and 3 and 4 and .......

    For me it'll be a few 5ft or bigger tanks for different biotopes or species of fishes.

    My dream tank is not about the size. It's the tank with the one trophy sitting on it.

    I will settle for a 4' tank. To me that's just the right size to view and manage.

    Re: How big is your dream planted tank?

    After a 12 year break (my last one was a 5 foot planted), planning to set up a 5X2X2 or a 6X3X2 soon.With costs in mind, I'm looking at 'preowned' tanks at the moment.

    Agree with you.
    As with a garden, space in aqua-garden is always at a premium.

    That's a realistic viewpoint really, because the Amazon river is everyone's to enjoy. And above all, it is literally maintenance-free too! That's the ideal 'tank' too I think.

    But idealism aside, for a home tank, the most important consideration should be time available for maintenance of a tank or tanks. Since interest can wear off in time if too much time is required for up keeping, it would be good to have a tank size which fits in nicely with our daily routine without it being too taxing on our time. Only in this way can one enjoy fish-keeping on a long-term basis. Lack of time for maintenance is the main reason why many stop the hobby.

    For me, the best tank size is 2ft -3ft, with strict underdstocking to minimise routine maintenance. 🐡🐟🐋🐋🐟🐡🐢🐬🐡🐚🌱
