Is This A Good Deal On A Tank?

[jodyh86]

ok so ive decided to take the plunge and go to the salty side, im just looking up possible tanks and have come across a Orca TL-550 tank for £100 the only downside is it doesnt come with a skimmer as the guy broke it....apparently it just comes with the built in filter, heater,lights, stand and a powerhead.

is this a good deal or am i better looking for something with everything there? also is a skimmer totally necessary as ill be doing weekly water changes anyway.


help lol

Seems a good price you can pick a skimmer up from china for about £15 new WG310 from memory off ebay

yer i can get one for £12 but just found out it doesnt come with the UV steriliser either is that important?

I never switched mine on in my old tank I dont run one in my current tank but I would play on that and try and get it for 80 - 90 I am assumping at that price it has the stand?

yer it has the stand with it....i asked him but he said he couldnt really drop on the price and he would chuck me an extra powerhead in with it so spose i cant complain really. are those tanks any good then?
