I find that one of the biggest gripes with people who own aquariums is the upkeep. My advice: Overkill on the filtration. I only have a 3 foot tank, but i use a filter that can handle an 8 foot tank. I don't have to do partial water changes nearly as often. I only do partial changes every 2-3 months, and a full change every 7 or 8 months. My tank stays surprisingly clean.
