I've been thinking about getting an aquarium for a while now. Asked the landlord if it's allowed…
Follow up question: What's the load capacity of this unit? Asking for a friend.
Realistically, I was going to start with a 2.5 or 5 planted shrimp tank. But now I could do maybe a 10 or 20 with fish too. Time for more research!

In my experience the sweet spot for an easy aquarium is from 20-40 gal. Smaller aquariums are less stable will big ones are a chore to do waterchanges.
Aquarium co-op has some great video’s about stocking 10 and 20 gallons. Personally I am really a fan off the apistogramma’s (dwarf cichlids) or a plakat betta.
I had a 20 gal and loved it. Fish started to outgrow it so I rehomed them and shut it down for now. Looking forward to starting another tank with my kids when they’re older
