I'd love to get in on the tropical fishkeeping bandwagon. However, my inlaws bought my son a silly little puny toy tank with goldfish in 18 months ago. I've spent so much time and effort on the little blighters now that I've grown attached to them. Seeing as they can live for over 20 years, it doesn't look like I'll be getting tropical fish anytime soon.
As I used to keep fish years ago, I knew about goldfish needing much more room than most people think and told my wife that we need a bigger tank. Catfish man very kindly gave me a 90ltr tank he was no longer using.
Thing is now, they have now outgrown this tank, so I'm looking to upgrade again.....the filter also can't keep up with the amount of crap they produce.
I've been looking at at the fluval 240ltr, just waiting for one to come up fairly local on aquarist.
Oh, and I bought a couple of these the other day.....

They are garra flavatra loaches, tough enough to live with goldfish and uber efficient glass cleaners. They cleared my whole tank in 2 days despite being supplimented with algae flakes.......greedy blighters.
