Tank Size for a Beginner?

imo don't go smaller than 20 ... 30 is even better though ...

I started with a 30 then dropped to a 20 .. then i was like "I want a bigger tank" so I went to the store with the intent of picking up a 55 and i came home with an 80
 
lol. I did the same thing.. I went to the store intending to get a stand for a 10 gallon to move it off the nice table in the dining room- then i figured why not just get a 20 + stand since my stands are for 20 gallons or larger... then i came home with a 36 bow + stand >.<
