sadly there is no way I will be able to upgrade in that time frame.... lot of home repairs coming up, and then we're planning a trip to Disney for the kids, and just regular life. I have already spent SO much to get where I am at just because there is so much, and because I had such bad initial advice and had things I don't need. So even if I could find a cheaper tank, I'd have to get more of some of the other things again, which adds up. So she'll have to be ok as is for probably a long time. I'm talking like a LEAST a year if not longer. Because the more I think about it I would have to rebuy quite a few things.... especially if I wanted to keep that one semi-set up as a quarantine or whatever I use it for later. I'd need new ground cover, new plants, new wood, new background, etc.... this is not a cheap hobby lol.
