tank question

[darksheep]

i went to my lfs the other day and they have new fancy tanks, they are black and have the filter and light built in to them, including the stand and all, just wondering if anyone has seen these and if they are any good cause they look really nice and it roughly works out the same as a glass tank set up but with out the cupboard.

never heard of them before,
in fact, i've been wondering for a long time now
what does lf mean??

as for the tank.... sounds good....
if the price is right, then i'd say go for it
just check out a couple thinks first:

#1 what kinda filter is built into it? (undergravel/sinking/out of tank?)
make sure its of good quality and the sponge/carbon sizes are not hard to find or ridiculously prised (they get alot of people that way)

#2 make sure they have a good lighting system and check that the bulb is not something rare or fancy that will cost you a fortune to replace

if the light and filter are of good quality and have common/fair priced carbon and sponge AND its a good price/deal

then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!!!!!!!! snatch that baby up!

Pointy Kitty,
lfs stands for local fish store. Somewhere (maybe pinned) is a list of other commonly used abr...

they "compleat package" is quite commonly produced by a number of companies and there is no way for us to tell exactly what it is you saw. but generaly speaking they are a good deal if you are planing on keeping hardy fish like zebra danios or platys
