they look so small in pictures lol they make mine look huge is it heavy to carry?

[dr2b]

I don't carry it. It has a biowheel, so I only have to change around 30% of the water every week. I siphon the gravel to change the water.

because im planing on getting a 3 gallon tank not a bowl this time so i can put fliter and all do you think its ot heavy for an adlut to carry?

[dr2b]

I honestly think it's a hastle. I think it'll be heavy, definitely so. I think if you just get a bucket and a cheap $2-3 gravel siphon you are set. It's just so much easier and quicker...not to mention it will be less stressful on your fish when you get one.

Well, I'm not sure what tanks you are looking at. But if you are going to get one with a Biowheel, I don't see much of a point if you are going to have to carry the tank to the bathroom to do the water change. You really don't need to change all the water, and I think to carry the tank, you are going to have to empty the tank half way to make it carriable.
