Cheap Large Fish Tanks

[Spader]

Local classified adverts or Ebay is the best place to start. You will find lots of tanks for sale second hand. Just make sure that if you do go for 2nd hand, check the joins very carefully to make sure that the silicone is still completely water tight.

What kind of fish are you aiming to keep? I would maybe try and find a 4ftx12" tank or similar and if you can afford it get an external filter, it makes life so much easier!

[fishfishfish]

its a waste to get a big tank and do simple fish in it.thats just my opinion

 

[Spader]

Get a larger tank and turn it into a nice planted tank....well....that's what I would do!

Exactly m8... we all have to start somewhere...

no point in getting nice expensive fish if your just starting out , just in case of unexpected disasters.
lets face it , starting out can come with problems to us all.

i have a fairly big tank 213litre and only have 2 mollies and several fry at the mo , and i will only be getting hardy fish to start with , some tatras etc but i do plan on getting some more elaborate fish as time goes on and i get more experienced..

so good luck to you and enjoy your fish.

Check their show list; http/www.glasscages.com/?sAction=Deliv

If you call ahead of time they will bring what you need to the show. I've seen fishrooms set up with their gear, it's good stuff.

Build your own stand, storebought stands are garbage unless you want to spend tall dollars. Buy filters online, you won't find them any cheaper.
