Water, Water Everywhere: What to Do with a 100 Gallon Fish Tank

Fish tanks are a blank canvas, void until you fill it with a variety of fish and decorations, and the larger the tank, the larger the canvas. So why not get a 100 gallon fish tank? They are a bit more expensive than smaller tanks, but they give you much more space to fill and enjoy.
There are several different things to consider when purchasing a 100 gallon fish tank, including whether or not to make a freshwater or saltwater tank, what kind of fish to put into the tank, and the accessories that you need to go into the tank. Read below for some important questions that you need to ask yourself before filling your fish tank.

Freshwater or Saltwater
Once you’ve purchased your 100 gallon fish tank, what are you going to fill it with? Will you use freshwater or saltwater? This is going to be your first and most important decision in the construction of your fish tank, and there are a couple of things to consider. Freshwater tanks are generally cheaper in terms of money and time. Saltwater aquariums demand more attention to pH and other chemical balances. When deciding whether or not to make your 100 gallon fish tank a freshwater aquarium or a saltwater aquarium, keep all of these factors in mind.
