houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003 | OK I'm in needs of a new tank as some of you know...I have found a 75 gallon tank on ebay. The starting bid is $150 which is within my budget, it comes with (duh the tank), stank that resembles/looks like my 125, and lights. I know I'll have to replace the bulbs that's a given...what do ya'll think, should I go for it? The bidding ends today, so I have to decide soon heidi 75 gallon on ebay EDIT: I forget the print is in black, and the background is black...highlight to see them.

Can't you make a better tank with US$125?. 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 |

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003 | Yeppers, that is mecleopatralaird Looks like I'll be picking it up on Saturday, now where the heck am I gonna put it? I'm thinking it's the same length as the 55, and heighth, but wider, so I'll move the 55 and put it, uh somewhere and heck I need a bigger place:%) Either ways, it looks like I'm also getting 3 plecos, the 3 in the pictureI'm figuring my lfs here will give me store credit for themIs that bad? I don't really want, well I don't really need them, not as large as they are, but they come with the tank, if I want them...don't know what they would do with them if i don't take themdon't want to know since it doesn't come with filtration I know for now I have a seeded HOB that is running on my 125, (not the only form of filtration on that tank, trust me) and I know it would probably be underrated for the 75, but that is going to have to do for a few more days Not totally sure what I'm going to do with it, but uh it will have fish in it I'm sure.. so should the 125 occupants go in there, and the fishies I want to get from tanker go into the 125? That will leave the 55 open to going back to MbunaThat is what I'm thinking would work for meDecisions, decisions, decisions heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
