Question Question about quarantine tank/salt mixing tank.

Right now I have a 29g FOWLR tank. I have had it running for about 2 months. I don't have much in the tank right now. But I want to get a spare tank to use as a QT and to keep and mix saltwater in it. I can get a 10g tank with a Fluorescent hood, heater, and HOB filter for $64. Or I could get a 29g tank with a fluorescent hood, heater, and HOB filter for $90.
The question I have is which one would you suggest? Or what would you suggest?

Thanks for your help.

Brett

I would get the 29, 10 is just too hard to keep stable, you already know 29 can be a challenge! For 26 extra bucks I don't see how you can go wrong.

Check locally for a used tank. For $100 you can usually get some really good deals with a stand included.
