Default 10 ft or two 5ft

This sounds like a silly question but I need some opinion. Hope bros can help.

Currently I've two 5x2x2.5 and am thinking of changing to a 10x2.5x2.5.

Any thoughts?
Thanks for ur advice.

Personally, I'd go for the 10ft. If can make 5x3.5x2.5 lagi best!

I will say it will depend on wat u plan to keep in the tank. if you plan to do a monster comm, a 10ft tank will be shiok!!

But if it's more of a small scale comm, i will prefer to go for 2 x 5ft tanks.. can keep different ranges of fishes and at the same time at least i have 2 tanks to play around in an event whereby a backup tank is needed due to unforesee circumstances. 2.5ft width will be the preferred width size

Width can only go up to 2.5ft

I understand . Price and ease of selling is the obstacle . Hence seeking bros opinion.

I like monsters and will likely keep monsters. But u hv a valid point that we can use as backup if have 2 5ft.sometimes sian liao still can keep 2 tanks of different fishes.

2 tank better to manage.
But a single 10ft tank is a sight to behold.

For my own view, 2 set of 5x2.5x2.5 would be better in term of management.

However, if go for 10ft, it is definitely a dream of every monster fish keeper.

Anyway, looking forward to see your update in future
