New Tank Ideas

Well i have my 5g up and its doing pretty good. But now all i want is to just buy every fish tank i see and spend stupid amounts of money a college kid doesnt have.
So i want to build another tank. Any suggestions on which what way i should go? I do have a biocube 29 but that tank has a leak which i can fix. But because im me i would be happy to buy another 2 tanks

College, as in, moving in and out of dorms every year? How much longer do you have to do that? Because I wouldn't upgrade a tank until thats all over. If you are already in a more permanent location, look into a 40 breeder or a standard 65, they both have nice footprints for aquascaping, and offer a variety of fish that can live in them. Also can be built on a budget, 40 more-so with a petco $/gallon sale.

i dont live in a dorm i live in a town home. I plan to keep the town home over the next 2 years and maybe 4 if i go back another 2. But if i were to move it would be a 45 minute move. And time wise to take car of things isnt a problem. Im going for farm power diesel tech and im done by 2 every day and i dont work except driving trucks weekends.
