New Tank Set Up

[dan1801a]

Looking to get a new tank :clap:

240Ltr ish

Don't know if to go for a compete setup or a tank and my own choice of filter, heater etc. Second hand is a option, pick up may be, but i do have a estate car. Always looking for a deal. Don't mind traveling for right tank at right price to any shop or private sale. It will be for L134's or i may get some L260.

Any help advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Personally I would look for a second hand one, you can get some real bargains from people who buy all the gear then get bored after 6 months or so because they found out that fish keeping = work. Even hiring a van to pick it up can still work out tons cheaper for that size tank

Thats how i got my dads tank for him. Still in two minds though.

Here is an example of a Rena aquarium setup near you for £350 for a £1100 setup if bought new http://derby.gumtree.com/derby/97/63235197.html

The AD-Mag comes out Saterday so have a good trawl though that.

But this looks a good deal http://www.arkpetsonline.co.uk/new-style-roma-240-tank-and-cabinet-oak-wenge-p-2794.html?wizid=mumm5sj1657d5cfvehvat3da71

That looks fine - and what's funny the adress of the company is only 2 miles from here.

Do you know them?? Are they as good as there ads ? Seen them in the mags but never delt with them or know anyone who has.

I don't know them They are at a retail park so I don't think they have a shop. If you are really interested I could drive by at the weekend just to make sure they really are there!!
