A-b Or C For Green Water Tank Options

[wombatt]

I'm having a custom clear acrylic tank made for my indoor green water setup. Wanted to get some advice and recomendations from the bros here to the sizes i'm thinking about.

A - 98"L x 35"W x 18"H = 270 us gal. = 1022 liters

B - 72"L x 36"W x 18"H = 202 us gal. = 765 liters

C - 72"L x 20"W x 20"H = 125 us gal. = 473 liters

I know the obvious would be "A" bigger is always better. But I don't know if changing 1022 liters every 5 - 10 days is going to be a big chore and a long one too, would like to hear some feed back on that too. "B" seems to be a nice compromise. Problem with "C" I think is that if I get more fish then I'm out of room. Planning on having about 100 liters per fish or lets say maximun of 6 fish in A, B and C. Thanks again all!

Wow CyberET Thanks for the heads up on the time it takes to drain and fill up. I think I'll go with option B right in the middle should be a good compromise for now. Now for the upcomming shock after I'll see the quote on the tank I'll be sure to post pics and step by step photos till the sucessful brew of my first batch of indoor green water.
