creeping aquarium ownership

I'm considering replacing our small second aquarium with a substantially larger one.
I'm either going to: spend another $100 on option A, a stand that can hold the existing 10 gallon tank inside the stand while holding a new 15 gallon with the same footprint on top of the stand or B: spend about $200 and get a 40 gallon aquarium and stand that will allow the existing 25 gallon to fit within the stand. But essentially, doing nothing is not working because I'm finding the small 10 gallon tank too hard to maintain. Decisions, decisions.
I told myself that this wouldn't happen again, but it's exactly what happened when I last had an aquarium in this city. They multiply.
