tank size

Do you think that a hundred ten gallon tank for a beginner is to big, just right, or to small?

I started out with my 125 right now. Doesn't seem like it's too much of a hassle so far for me. Maintenance is pretty simple on it and I usually do the longer maintenance tasks on the weekend when I have more time to fiddle with my tank. I was told by majority of the people on my local forums to start out with a tank around 75-90g but I couldn't pass up the deal on the 125.

Im sure it will be fine. Things dont necessarily get harder with more size, just more expensive.

agreed, if possible nothing smaller than 55 or so.

I started out with a 55, then went to a 120. After 9 years, I'm downsizing to a 37 cube. The larger tank was fun and it offered a lot more options in terms of what to keep, but as mentioned, it is more costly to run and more work. Go for the 110. you'll enjoy it!

Just remember this part, but also with more space it gives more options for stocking though
