tank upgrade

[vampure]

i currently have:

1x 2 x 1.5 x 1 tank
1x 2 x 1 x 1 tank

fish : 1 x flowerhorn
30 serpae tetras

think i've gotten to love this hobby and am thinking of upgrading to a 3x2x2 tank
however i would like to know more about the costs and moving before making such a drastic move as im only but a student.

can anyone advice me on what i can do if i make the upgrade? can i release the tetras into the reservoir?

1st hand or 2nd hand tank?

you can release, but only become feeders.

hi bro ! instead of releasing the tetras maybe you could give them to others ? hmm i think that ur current tank is definitely too small for a FH. If im not wrong. a 3x2x2 could easily go to 3 digit so yeah. also u have to make sure the tank silicon okay no leakage, not poisonous then ur filter must cycle first before can properly transfer the fh.

what are the prices for both 1st and 2nd hand? which is more worth it?

Bro. IMO, u might wanna consider 422 tank, a lot of bro here letting go. It's better to go a bigger tank 1 shot then to slowly upgrade, money wise very painful for student, secondly very stressful for fish.. For second hand tanks, the tank should not be left dried for too long, otherwise the silicon might not be that good.. And also to check the age of the tank.. Not good to be too old.. Most tank makers gives 5 year warranty for their new tanks, because they are confident in their tank, but as it gets older, very hard to say.. Just my 2 cents opinion..

at least 50% price difference...

i would suggest u get a 422 2nd hand instead...

I am also student

bro , go for 4ft it will be better .

Go to Buy/Sell forum to get a second hand from the bros here, who willing to release for a good bargain. Yes, 4ft if you can.

no, u shld not release into the reservoirs. there are hobbyists who are more then willing to adopt ur fishes.
as with 2 sides to every coin, a new or 2nd-hand tank will have its pros and cons.
but based on ur budget status, a 2ndhand tank is a better option for u as it is cheaper and u can get a bigger tank with the same budget.
