Large Tank Help

[Mybbygotsauz]

Okay, I have many choices of which size tanks i may go with
ive been settled on a 60 gallon using fluval filtration.
However, i have the option and room for both 100 gallon and 300 gallon tanks.
Im wondering what i should choose.
If i get the two larger tanks I have to buy new filtration for both which isnt a problem but is it worth the maintenance?
If you recommend a different tank other than the 60, could you recommend some filtration options? thanks
The fish that will be used is
guppies
mollies
common pleco
neon tetra
snails
gourami
and some peaceful cichlids

Any advice helps?

To double check, you don't mean litres do you?

 

[Mybbygotsauz]

No i dont, its definitely gallons

 

[soybean]

300 gallons and you want to stock it with guppies?! Each to his own I suppose!

Get the largest tank you can fit in the house and afford. You'll only want a bigger one when you get the smaller one.

I would've thought buying a tank that size it would come with filtration included? Unless it's a custom build?

Are you buying online at all? Do you have a link?

Guppies are PRETTY! And if you have a large group together the colors are so nice!

Yes I know, but it's not often you get someone wanting an enormous tank with tiny fish.

There wont be guppies very long if i get the larger ones, although if i decide to keep them there will be many.
And there isnt any filtration included with either of the tanks because i found them both at an auction and recently restored both of them back to pristine shape.
Just asking for suggestions on the filtration, and really the only thing online that i am buying is simply the ornaments and what not. Possible the filtration system depending upon what it is.

Well I just meant a link to the tanks if you were buying online, I presumed you meant they were new.

 

[Mybbygotsauz]

No, but they could pass as new now, Which ever tank i use ill be selling the others, and ill be sure to let you know when i put them online and give you the link if you wish.
