stuquarium Enthusiast Posts: 262 Kudos: 275 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Oct-2004	hey guys, on the weekend at my local LFS they have an 140GAL curved AQUA ONE TANK and stand for under 2000AUD http://www.aquaone.com.au/curvedglass_aqtanks(r2-120_r2-180).htm - the R2-180 about half way down the page. i've been thinking about putting it on lay way (lay-by)and bringing the sucker home has anyone got one of these aqua one 140Gals? what the lighting like? and the built in filtration? well worth it? or should i pass. i really like this tank, but i wanna make sure it's money well spent 1st.

jasonpisani Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	My 5 foot tank is made by Atman & i find it quite good. The filtration is quite good & also the lightining. I bought mine for USD 750 without stand. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

The Angels will be removed when they pair off & small ones will replace them. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

RAST Big Fish Posts: 437 Kudos: 162 Votes: 236 Registered: 07-Feb-2002	I have a smaller one just the 620. It goes alright. The lighting is great and filtration is OK too. You should not have a problem. The only draw back is the warrenty - 6 months thats it. But appart from that I would get another one easily.

It's all there and it's easy to find parts and they don't seem to be too expensive compared to other brands. They look good to. Are you going to get a Aqua One stand? They're very handy too. Good luck
