thanks a lot

Do you want glass or arcylic? Tongs is not the cheapest place. keep your eyes out summer time is when a lot of sales happen.

Yeah but thats only for the tank though. Those guys at ATA are scam artists.

go check john at advance acrylics. awesome work on par with the old socalcreations

euphoricgear · 05/23/2008, 10:03 PM

get a used tank. with $500 you can get a decent size tank and corals/fish to put in it. go nano around 24gallons

dattack · 05/23/2008, 10:27 PM

Find a used tank with stand and canopy with a $500 budget.

If you can wait until the middle-end of the summer, you'll see plenty of setups for sale cheap.........................usually after the first 2 week heatwave...................Happens every year

H B you got room for a big tank? 240g 8x2x2 I could make you a deal this weekend. I should have my new Leemar Starfire 225g coming into Aquarium's in Motion shop in the next week.

and a kid (s)... and.. visits to the inlaws

but you are off to a good start, some chicks tell guys they have to sell tanks before getting married

I don't know if the 120 (60x30X18) is a good size for a reef, look at a 150 (60x24x24) much easyer to aquascape

hawaiian_boi · 05/24/2008, 08:43 PM

ok so i guess she got me one...thanks everyone for the help..oh and its a 240 gallon...she is the greatest.

what do you mean you just want a tank and nothing else? there is lots else you need. or did you mean she will buy the tank and you will buy the rest?

you know the tank only isn't much good with out $1,000's more for the rest of the equipment and livestock.

hawaiian_boi · 05/26/2008, 01:27 PM
