Also i was thinking..this..........its a bit cheeky but.......you dont get anywhere without asking these days...

If i go to see the tank, and its what im after, and she doesnt sell on ebay (no bids so far) should i make her an offer, or give her the starting price thats shes asking £150 ??

Suggestions..lol

Not cheeky at all - if you don't ask you don't get

 

[Clairel]

Is £150 a fair price do you think? Or should i start at £120? I dont want to embarass her or anything...i realise how much they cost brand new, but you never usually get what you want for something second hand..unless its perfect, which i have yet to find out, tonight hopefully i will see it

Depending on the condition of course. And make ultra sure all the bits are working.
I've bought a second hand tank before only to find out the heater is leaking and the filter had bits missing
If it's a Vision, I think £150 is a fair price for a year old tank & stand included if in great condition. If it's the standard then offer £120 and see what she says.

Thanx i will, it looks like im definately going to view it tonight, wohooooooooooo

Hi,Clairel.I have just done a fishless cycle,and it is well worth it.Iused very fine Gravel,and bought a collection of Plants from Greenline to start me off.I put 2 Teaspoons of Ammonia in the tank(Try not to breath).You can get Ammonia from Hardware Shops by the way.Then I added 1 Teas apoon a day to keep the Reading up to 5 ppm.It took 15 days to fully cycle.
I did get fed up at about 12 days,but gave myself a good talking to,then every thing happened at once
Th best thing about a fishless cycle,is that you can add more fish when it is finished  
Oh and I had the temp at 80 Degrees.Hope this helps you Clairel.

Worth mentioning how many US gallons you are speaking of. The length of a cycle depends on a few factors.

Hi Bloozoo2,My tank is about 30 uk Gallons.

 

[Bloo]

Ah ok - I though as much judging from the time it took you to cycle it.
I would expect Claire's tank to take roughly twice as long.
