cHoDaBoY 0 #10 August 15, 2005 Actually its not as dangerous as they make it out to be. I heard you are more likely to get hurt driving to the aquarium store Q. Why do birds sing? A. Because they dont have to pack when they land Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nataly 38 #11 August 15, 2005 So what kind of fishies did/will you get?? My b/f and I recently started up an aquarium.. He wanted a fish for his birthday, and I couldn't believe the cost of starting up a tank.. So I went on e-bay.. For less than it would have cost to start up a crummy little 1.5' tank, I got everything you could possibly want (*everything*) to fully set up not one, or two, or even 3 tanks.. Enough to kit 10 large tanks--including the 10 tanks!!! We're actually running into some problems with high Nitrite levels at the moment, so I need to dig through the mountains of stuff to find the gravel siphon, then do a partial water change. We only have one tank set up at the moment--one of the 3' ones.. We're keeping the 4' tank for bigger fishies.. 10 tanks.. Imagine how fucking stupid my inlaws thought I was when we told them about our bargain on e-bay!!!

speedy 0 #13 August 15, 2005 10 Tanks? Think of the running costs, lighting, pumps, heating, it all cost's money. Also the tanks do not last forever, I have heard that after 8 -10 years you should replace them before they leak. Once you have got your new tanks up and running you can sell the old ones on ebay Dave Fallschirmsport Marl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
