    You did good if a 26bow is what you want,but it seems like the 40gal. might be what you would rather have.If that's the case now's the best time to decide before speding any more on equipment.A 40breeder is a nice size to work with.

    Have you done much research on what fish you will want? The 40 will give you a lot more options and could house a lot more. Also, bowfronts can look nice but also the curved glass can distort your view. It's a personal preference there.
