my first tank was a 120g (on the second floor of an 80year old home). It was, imo an awesome tank. If I had kept it running longer (I tried to upgrade to a 320g and failed) it would have grown out amazingly I think.

I think I did so well because the tank size helped to buffer any mistakes I did...

I believe the biggest tank you can get away with, is a 230, mainly for the fact that it weighs about 3400 lbs, and apparently according to some framers I know you shouldn't excceede 300lbs/Sqrft....and the 230 sits at like 289lbs/sqrft.....But thats just been what I have been told! Not sure if it's true or not!
