Selecting The Right Size Aquarium

Contrary to what you might think, larger tanks are not necessarily more work than smaller ones. For one thing, it is easier to keep water chemistry stable in larger tanks than in smaller ones (the less water, the more easily a small chemical change causes a big change in relative concentration).
Most of the regular maintenance does not require twice the time for twice the size. For example, a regular partial water change for a larger tank may require one more bucket of water than for a small tank. Since you already have the bucket and siphon ready and your hands are already wet, it means just a few extra minutes of time.
